Guest Speaker

Dean H. Harvey

Dean H. Harvey was saved in 1951 while a member of the U. S. Navy. He pastored his first church in 1954-55, after which he attended Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri from 1955-1958. At this same time, he pastored a local church and was ordained. Returning to the Navy in 1958, he was commissioned as an officer in 1963, and pastored two more churches while on active duty, until retiring in 1971.

After retiring from the Navy, he pioneered a church in Portsmouth, Virginia which grew to 300. He faithfully served there for 11 years, before leaving to pioneer the School of the Bible for Youth With A Mission, Tyler, Texas. After seven years there, he moved to Rockford, Illinois in 1988 where he became pastor of the Chapelwood Community Church, where he has ministered for the last seventeen years.

In addition to pastoring, Dean has a devotional teaching radio ministry, instructs in a Bible College at the undergraduate level, and teaches at Agape Force. He often travels to Puerto Rico to train the YWAM staff in the material from the one year School of the Bible and somehow finds the time to teach in YWAM Nicaragua, YWAM Chapala, Mexico and YWAM Costa Rica. He is presently serving his second term as the President of the Evangelical Ministers Fellowship of Rockford, and also serves on the Board of Directors of Evangelical Education Ministries and frequently speaks at their annual conferences.

Pastor Harvey and his wife, Shirley, have been married for fifty-four years, and had four children, two of whom are deceased, and additionally have twelve grandchildren at this time. Their daughter, Cheryl, and her family were for eighteen year missionaries in Peru with Wycliffe Bible Translators until Cheryl's death from ovarian cancer in 1998.

He will be preaching and sharing on 'The Broken Heart of God'.
Keep praying for a new revelation of God's love!
