BIOGRAPHICAL
SKETCH—Shelby C. Grant |
Shelby C. Grant
is the Senior Pastor of Harvest International Church. After being
in the Jewelry business for more than thirteen years, Pastor Shelby
C. Grant closed his Jewelry store in Duluth, GA to launch into full-time
ministry. He answered his call to the ministry in 1993, and after
two years of training, he was ordained in 1995.
In 1997 Pastor Shelby C. Grant founded Battle Ministries, an intercessory
prayer ministry. His passion for prayer and intercession came as
a result of a desire to know God, and a burden for laborers of the
harvest. Grant has helped churches and ministries alike to develop
or equip intercessory prayer ministries to undergird laborers of
the harvest. In addition to working with many churches in the Atlanta
area, his most recent assignment was with In Touch Ministries, the
teaching ministry of Dr. Charles F. Stanley.
While serving at In Touch Ministries, Pastor Shelby was responsible
for developing and implementing strategies to train and mobilize
more than 8,000 prayer partners and over 450 prayer groups. These
prayer partners and prayer group leaders were located in the United
States, Canada, New Zealand, Philippines, United Kingdom, and Australia.
Pastor Shelby and his family are currently partnering with New Beginnings
Fellowship, and the South Atlantic District of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance to plant "Harvest International Church" in the
Dacula, GA area.
Pastor Shelby is also a Chaplain for the Georgia Army
National Guard. He lives in Lawrenceville, GA with his wife Jerri,
and their two children, Chaz and Caleb. He earned his undergraduate degree in Communications from Virginia
Tech, and a Masters degree in Counseling at Luther Rice
University.
