About The Author

Knoxville, Tennessee, United States
I currently serve as Senior Pastor of Harvest Church in Knoxville, Tn. I was sent out from Trinity Chapel of Knoxville in 1993 accompanied by my wife Sheila our four children Sarah, Hannah, Josiah & Isaac and a handful of bold, brave and committed believers determined to plant our first church. Pioneering is hard work but well worth the journey. That is why we desire to make disciples of Christ who will, like us, also embrace the call to plant churches.

The Cantrell's


What a blessing this couple and family have been to mine and to Harvest Church.
More affectionately known to our kids as Uncle Doug and Aunt Wendy these two have been close friends since before Harvest began.
On the flip side my wife and I are affectionatley known to their children as Uncle Tim and Aunt Sheila.
No we are not blood relatives in the natural, just in the Spirit.
Doug journeyed with us from the trials involved in the birth of our first son till now.
This family has been consistently faithful and provide encouragement to many as they live a lifestyle of serving others.
Always eager to make a difference but never really aware of how much they did. Noah, Katie and Bethanie are refreshing to watch. Noah the athlete of the family, Katie the quiet one and Bethanie taking all the cuteness awards when around everyone.
Harvest has been enriched by having this family in our midst. They have served in too many areas over the years to list. The best way to describe them is how I already have, faithful!
