Gail Harris is 68 years old, and one of her dreams is to be able to dance at her grandson’s wedding. Young Grady is not quite 6, so she has a few years to wait. But suddenly, the dream is facing an unimaginable threat.
With symptoms that were thought to be an annoying case of bronchitis, doctors discovered a large tumor in Gail’s lung. Several days later, tests revealed the tumor was in fact stage 4 lung cancer that had metastasized to the lymph nodes, and to her brain.
In her younger years, Gail was a smoker. But for more than 30 years now, she has fully committed to living her life for the glory of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. She and her husband Rich Harris are the Senior Ministers at The Centre, Living Word Ministries International in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Part of their ministry includes the Golden Eagle School of Practical Ministries which has equipped 100’s of Christians to go out into all the world using their gifts and talents to expand the Kingdom of God.
Gail has a gift of seeing the call of God on someone and giving them wings to fly into that destiny. One in particular is her spiritual son, John Roth. She saw the gift of worship on him and through her encouragement he is now the Lead Worshipper at The Centre and is soaring in His prophetic worship gift. Gail is a proud Mom and one of his biggest fans, waiting for him to release his first CD! There are many others that need Gail’s talents and gift to help them soar into their destinies.
As part of their Christian walk, they have always believed in being good stewards of the bodies God has given them here on earth. They strive to eat a healthy, organic diet.
When seeking God’s guidance in choosing a course of cancer treatment, they have been led to look into some alternative clinics such as; the Century Wellness Clinic in Reno, specializing in a combination of natural and homeopathic remedies as well as less toxic chemotherapies and Nature Med in Boulder, Colorado who specialize in treatment that helps counteract the effects of chemo. Both clinics are headed by an MD/Oncologist and Naturopathic doctors.
It is Gail’s desire to pave the way for others to find alternative healing remedies, but use wisdom with some of the latest, perhaps God given, medical technology finding doctors who are willing for God to lead them. It is equally her desire to give God the glory for His work in her life. She and Rich have many prophetic words waiting to be fulfilled and a long life of ministry and time with family ahead of them.
Because of the nature of the cancer and time being of the essence, Gail is currently undergoing radiation on a daily basis and low dose Chemo treatment weekly for the next 8 weeks. She is also supplementing the medical with the Alternative by being committed to the Hallelujah Diet – a heavy juicing and raw vegan plan. Coupled with one of the above Naturopathic clinics – and MUCH prayer from so many wonderful friends, both Rich and Gail feel this is how the Lord has led them.

I was not aware of this until today…but after reading it my level of faith rose to fight in prayer on your behalf and come into agreement with you for victory and for Him to receive all the glory! You are ALREADY a walking testimony and have poured out your life for others in great ways for many years….it is now our opportunity to return the service and hold your arms up for victory in the battle!
May you be strengthened with His supernatural strength, may your cup continue to overflow with infectious joy, and may you see the light of the incredible things that God has laid out before you.
I will continue to lift you and Rich up in prayer!
With love…Rebecca.

I stand strong with you today my beloved wife. You are without a doubt the most incredible woman in the world (and Texas- our personal joke). Ephesians 5:25-29 my promise to you.

I’m not sure if you remember who I am or not, I took the Prophetic Class with all the Chosen Women of God ladies, anyway — I just want you to know how this has touched my heart. I am praying for you daily especially hearing how you feel daily. As a group we learned so much from you and Rich we are all so grateful. Gail — you are a Chosen Woman of God and a remarkable one at that! God Bless You – Always, Ida Fore
