"He's Not Heavy, He's My Brother"

At the beginning of 1990, K.D. Harris experienced a personal tragedy. His brother, Tony, who was 28 years of age, was tragically murdered. This event left a lasting impact upon Mr. Harris.

From 1990 to 1997, various participation in community service activities prompted our chairman to form an intelligent and competent staff of individuals with backgrounds in child care operations, people services, art designs, community service, clerical services, youth counseling, education, and academics.

Since October 1997, O.H.M.B. continues to recruit to youth between the ages of six to seventeen training and developing them in the areas of career preparation, civic participation, building self-esteem, communication skills, and a host of other valuable life skills to assist them in being successful and productive citizens.

In all of our efforts to continually improve our interacting with the public, O.H.M.B. is always committed to educating, motivating, and aspiring to build solid relationships with parents, youth, other organizations and the community at large.

His philosophy of life is “ your life is your bond, never give up on it.”

As a minister of better than 17 and a half years, Mr. Harris understands the faith and favor that comes with helping others. Conversely, he gave up much of his youth oriented years to take the “call” on his life seriously at age 20.. Respectfully, our brother is now accepting of the fact that his unorthodox style and approach to life is just a natural tendency that His Maker has implanted within him for the advancement of the Kingdom building.

His thought to live by is:

“ Never quit in your efforts to succeed,

but only as you follow the lowly Christ”
