2: Reverend Harris

Reverend Harris is... a hoot. Born and raised in DeQuincy, Louisiana, he has pastored Evergreen Baptist Church for over 20 years. His congregation is a beautiful example of the role churches can play in adapting to a changing climate in our everyday lives. After Laura, his mission work really began to focus on disaster preparedness, a vocation that comes natural to a veteran whose upbringing taught him that his service extends beyond the church’s walls.
