    Harold Duarte-Bernhardt

    Pastor Harold has been a pastor most of his life. He has also worked extensively as a Life Coach, in the prevention of divorce, helping marriages thrive, providing direction for people who are recovering from a painful divorce. His enthusiasm and passion for God comes from pain, suffering and times when he clearly understood that God is in control of our lives. His emphasis is on relevant teaching from the Bible to help people live their best lives ever on this earth. "There is no perfect life on this earth," he says. "But we can accept God's best for our lives, and that's is way better than what people describe as the ideal, happy life." His favorite version of the Bible is "The Message." He has read The Message 5 times from cover to cover. He has done the same many times with other versions. He follows an annual reading plan and every January he begins with the book of Revelation.
