I was married to the late Carvey L. Harris for more than 48 years and have been walking with the Lord for more than 50 years. When my husband passed away in November of 2012, all I had was the Lord to keep me going. Although I had my children, I still recognized the unique place that a husband could hold. Then, one day, I realized, “Lord, it’s just You and me.”

​

Today, I am still totally committed to the Lord and to seeing lives restored. That is why I am here. I firmly believe that is why all believers in our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, are here: to make life better for as many hurting people as we can.

​

I have a heart for those caught up in addiction. One reason I am so passionate is because I have had several family members who are now, or have been in the past, stuck in that lifestyle. At least two have died because of their addiction.

​

I know the pain of losing a loved one to addiction. I know the pain a mother feels when her child is caught in addiction and seems so far gone that there is no hope. I also know the pain of a mother losing one of her children to addiction, because I am that mother. Without the Lord, the pain is unbearable and indescribable.

​

I have heard people say the worst pain in the world is childbirth. I am a living witness that this is not true. Child loss is far worse. My son passed away on December 20, 2019, and I am still recovering. The pain is just below the surface.

​

But, I know the victory we have in Jesus and refuse to stop until either the epidemic ends or the Lord calls me home. After losing my son, I am even more passionate because satan will not defeat me. I win in the name of Jesus.

​

Note that the name of the one who is trying to stop us is spelled with a lowercase “s.” It’s not a typo; it is intentional. He doesn’t rate recognition. He (no typo) is under my feet, and yours too.

​

I have peace in knowing that if the Lord calls me home before the epidemic is over, my children will continue the battle. We are full of righteous indignation, and the Board of Directors of Harris Family Ministries, Inc. stands with us.

​

I am so blessed. I have three children, one now deceased, 11 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. I must also let it be known that I am a blessed mother-in-law because I can honestly say that I love my in-law children just as though they are my own, and I know they love me the same way.

​

As a family, we are all fierce about putting an end to addiction and improving lives in a manner that will advance the Kingdom of God.

​

Our goal is to touch as many lives as we can and bring the joy of Jesus to as many as we can.

​

We have authority, in the name of Jesus, to call our loved ones out of the darkness of addiction, and that is what we try to do. However, we must realize that their will is involved, but we won’t stop until we call as many in as we can. We want to help you claim your loved ones back. That is why we founded The House of Restoration. We will reach one soul at a time.

Please keep our House of Restoration in your prayers so that we can restore the lives of many women & children, with the children never living a life of addiction.
