Kenneth Harbaum is a man with deep convictions. His desire is to see God’s people discover who they are in Christ, live a life in the Spirit and reach their destiny. God has anointed Pastor Harbaum to minister the Word with signs following as the Bible declares in Mark 16.
At the age of thirteen Kenneth received the call from God to world missions. Even today the call burns within his heart, knowing he will preach the Gospel to the nations. Upon graduation from high school, Kenneth enrolled at Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma where he completed their two-year program in 1987.
After serving in many areas of ministry, in September of 1993, Reverend Harbaum founded Lightnings of God Ministries Int'l. In January of the following year he began missions work by traveling to Kenya, East Africa. He continues to travel to and from Kenya doing mostly evangelistic open air meetings with a heart to share the Good News and the love of Jesus Christ with those who have never heard it. During this time, the Lord was also dealing with Pastor Harbaum to do more in the area of training pastors and church leaders to better equip their very own people in spreading the Word of God.
Today, thanks to his friends and partners in ministry, Lightnings of God Ministries still puts an intense effort into fulfilling the call by taking qualified teams into Kenya and conducting seminars for pastors and leaders. The growth of Lightnings of God Ministries has included a East Africa Branch Office in Kenya along with local churches under the name Covenant of Peace Church. There are also Covenant of Peace Churches in Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, DRC, Swaziland and Mozambique.
Rev. Harbaum is currently pastoring a thriving church in Eaton, Ohio, where he is raising up a might army who is taking the gospel to world together!
