Naomi Harvey: Bio
Naomi was called into ministry at the age of 16, and has been in Ministry over 50 years. She was a pastor for almost 37 years, at Faith Tabernacle in Aberdeen, Washington, a church she co-founded. Naomi also co-founded Living Communion Ministries in Portland, Oregon with JuaNita Gates.
Other ministry involvements include: Living Communion Ministries in Seattle Washington; an orphanage in Tijuana Mexico (she adopted 10 children and raised 7 others as a single woman); The Harvester Foundation in Brady Washington; the Lighthouse Care Facility in Aberdeen, Washington for AIDS ministry as well as other business outreaches in Grays Harbor.
She has been on the board of A.W.A.R.E, and international drug awareness and rehabilitation outreach, and served twenty years on the executive board for Advance Ministries and the Alliance of Christian Churches.
Naomi toured the country in a greyhound bus doing gospel concerts in the l970’s as Naomi and the Joyful Sounds. They recorded five Gospel albums. She also produced the Fellowship in Song television programs in Portland, Oregon during the late 80’s and early 90’s in conjunction with Living Communion Ministries.
In l980 her life was changed by a second degree murder sentence that sent her to prison for 17 years to life. She served five years before her sentence was vacated by the 5th appellate court in California because of Diminished capacity at the time of the crime. Even behind prison walls, she assisted the Chaplin at Frontera Women’s prison for 2 and half years. Her faithfulness to God and His faithfulness to her are evident in her amazing story.
This Miracle woman has not been deterred from declaring God’s faithfulness. She has been tested by many experiences such as an intentional automobile attack on her life that left her in a body brace for 18 months; a fire that destroyed her home and took the lives of two of her children; multiple surgeries; heart attacks and strokes; and diagnosis that she would never walk again.
She lives in the healing power of God, and travels across country with JuaNita Gates “Sharing Father’s Heart” ministering to the whole person.
Parts of her story have been told in such writings as Sylvia Pennington’s book, Ex-gays? There are none and other books, but for the first time, the complete story is told in, The Miracle Woman, my Journey of Restoration- The Naomi Harvey Story as told to Darlene Bogle.

Juanita Gates: Bio For over 35 years “Nita” has been pastoring, mentoring and counseling those God sends her way. She currently serves as one of the pastors at “New Zion Ministries” in Portland, Oregon Her passion to see others experience the signs and wonders in action; is birthed from the miracles she has experienced through faith in Jesus Christ. She gave her heart to Jesus in l956 in a Southern Baptist Church in Texas, and has never doubted His promises. In l967 at the age of 34, she was on her death bed with Multiple Sclerosis. It had settled in her lungs and the doctor gave her no hope of recovery. A young man named Duffy, felt led to come to her home and pray a prayer of faith, for complete healing. The result was immediate, and documented by her physician. A month later God continued His healing by baptizing her with the Holy Spirit and giving her a prayer language to praise Him. Learning to walk in the fullness of the Spirit has been a journey of worship that has manifested in many areas of emotional and physical healing. In l981 she was healed of cancer, as she trusted in God’s promises of restoration She attempted to retire in 2003 however the Lord had a better idea. Nita has been involved in the ministry of creating Praise and Worship flags to be used in ministries for praise, worship and spiritual warfare around the world! She sells them to individuals and churches who are involved in active worship. Many are learning as they embrace the physical display of worship, that once again signs and wonders are manifesting in praise. Her spiritual anointing blesses others and has allowed her to become a part of the move of the Holy Spirit in the Church around the world. She says: “As we enter into the worship of the Lord, people are coming into a deeply personal relationship with Jesus, and it is my desire to be part of that experience until He takes me home.” To this end, she has entered into a partnership with Naomi Harvey to travel and serve God wherever the Lord leads in a ministry that they have titled “Sharing Father’s Heart” ministering to the whole person. Nita is available to share her story of God’s amazing healing as well as take orders for Praise, Worship and Warfare flags and can be contacted at:
