Description
Charity Harris was born in a slave shack in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and his family moved to Oklahoma when he was only nine months old. His father earned a living as a sharecropper. When Charity graduated from high school in 1944, he entered the military during World War II and fought on the battlefield for many months. He served his country for two years, but by the time he came home from the war, Charity (like so many others) was in the depths of sin.
Upon his return to Skellytown, Texas, where his family had moved, a revival was in progress at a local church. Charity went to the meeting with his mother just to please her, but the moment he stepped into the little church, the Holy Spirit reached inside his heart and called him away from sin. It was at that same altar that he was filled with the Holy Spirit and was called into the ministry. It was at that same church that he met and married his wife Ruth. Together they began to minister as preachers of the Good News.
A few years later, in January of 1957, Charity and Ruth Harris began their missionary career. They pioneered in Tanzania, in the district of Njome. There, Charity built a mission station while living in a small tent, and studied the Swahili language while building the house where he would live. At the end of three months, Charity knew the language well enough to begin to minister in it.
