About Us - Garry & charm segerson

Garry Segerson, founder of Harvest Time Ministries, is a revivalist whose faith, power and revelation has affected the lives of many around the world.  Garry's burning desire is to see churches, cities, regions, and whole nations completely transformed by the power of God.  Garry flows in a strong prophetic and healing anointing.

Garry and his wife, Charmanice, live in Arlington, TN.

Garry was raised in Memphis, TN.  At the age of 25 he surrendered his life to Jesus.  In 1987, he had a powerful encounter with Holy Spirit, which set him on the path to evangelism.  He was ordained by the Independent Assemblies of God International in 1989 and Harvest Time Ministries was birthed.

Harvest Times Ministries is an interdenominational ministry aimed at equipping and igniting the Body of Christ for harvest.  We believe, as you go, preach the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.  Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leper, cast out devils.  Freely, you have received, freely give. Matthew 10:7-8

Garry pastors a house church in Arlington.  He also ministers in groups and churches in the United States as well as nations of the world.

Charm Segerson, along with her husband, Garry, is co-founder of HTM.  Charm's desire is to see people come to know the Lord more fully and intimately by the Holy Spirit.  She believes the Holy Spirit will speak powerful details to us and give us direction and revelation pertaining to our personal lives and ministry.

Charm was born in TN, but lived in TN, VA, and MO.  She has a wonderful Christian heritage, but like each of us had to come to a place where knowing of God is not enough.  We must come to know Him personally for ourselves.  Charm has come to understand the more time we spend in the presence of the Lord, we develop a deeper intimacy with Him.  Her heart's desire is for the lost and that they may come to know the love of Jesus and what He accomplished for each one at Calvary.

As a young girl Charm remembers thinking, it seems if you are born into my family you go into the ministry.  She did not desire this, but found herself saying, "But if I must I think I want to be a missionary".  She believes without her knowing it at the time God was already preparing her for world missions.  It was not until 1990 that Charm took her first missionary trip to China.  The following year Garry joined her on a trip.  That was the beginning of their yearly short term missions trip.  When Charm takes these missions trips she is open to Holy Spirit in using her as He desires, whether that is singing a song unto the Lord or ministering His word from the pulpit.

Garry and Charm recently accepted the invitation to become part of an oversight council of a new fellowship birthed in the Memphis area.   ACTS-Fellowship was birthed on September 12th, 2009.   With three other couples with whom they are building relationship, they oversee this new ministry.  Even though they are four distinct and different ministries, these couples have entered into agreement to walk as one in the city of Memphis and the surrounding region.  Their desire is to be a part of tearing down walls that divide Christ's body showing by example Holy Spirit can draw people together of different backgrounds and with different giftings of the Spirit to function as one Body keeping Jesus as the Head and not one man.  Their desire, as with the others on this oversight council, is to bring the Church of Jesus back to the foundation she was birthed on as recorded in the New Testament.  That being an apostolic presbytery and/or a council of elders.  They are excited concerning this as they will now see come to pass what they have already experienced on the mission field in other countries.

 our History - mission's trip

1990: The beginning of our overseas trips. Charm was a team member of Nora Lamb’s Mission Trip to China. It was in July, 1990. The first stop on this trip was Taiwan, where we were met at the airport by believers with warm greetings. For three days we had wonderful fellowship and meetings. We flew from there into Hong Kong and on to Beijing, China.  We took in many of the sites since the gospel could not be preached openly, although many lives were changed everywhere we went. Charm visited the Great Wall of China, but went only a short distance until she tired and came back down to shop instead.  She fell in love with the Chinese people and they have a special place in her heart.  We visited The Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square where we could still see blood stains in the streets of the young lives that were massacred a few months before. The trip made such an impact in Charm’s life that Garry decided to go on a mission trip with her the following year.

1991 & 1992: Garry and Charm were on the Nora Lamb Mission Trip. These trips included Taiwan, Hong Kong, Philippines and Canton, China. In China we visited house churches, government run churches, and visited the sites. In the Philippines we were divided up in groups and went with different ministries. Our group went with Pastors Domeng and Fely Sariemento. They took us to visit homes and villages. We had meetings. Later, we were taken to their home for lunch and then had a meeting in the church they pastor. The friendship that was established with them in 1991 still exists today.

1994: February, 1994 was our first trip to Chennai, India. We went with Agape Fellowship from Memphis,TN. Pastor Bonnie Kahn had been going to India for several years and asked us to go with her on this trip. We had a thirteen hour layover in London so we visited in the home of a friend while there. The meetings in India were glorious. We saw people hungry for the Lord and many lives changed. We were in meetings day and night. Of course, we fell in love with the people. We stayed in the Breeze Hotel. The manager, Joseph Rodriguez, is a born again Christian. He is reaching many for the Kingdom of God. He showed us favor and arranged meetings. We had already met Pastor Paul Masilamani in the states in 1993. We met his family on this trip. They have become a family to us. We have had the privilege to stay in their home on many of our trips.

On our flight home we stopped in Germany. We had meetings and enjoyed the sites. We also went into Austria one day. Germany and Austria are beautiful countries.

June, 1994: Charm traveled along with Agape Fellowship to Israel and Ireland. We also took a one day touring trip to Scotland. Israel is a must for all. In Ireland we had meetings in both Dublin and Belfast.

1995: This trip was to the Philippines. We ministered in To God Be The Glory Church for Pastor Domeng Sarimento. He also took us to outreach churches. These pastors are church planters. We have watched them as they grew from a small, humble beginning to having many branch churches.

 February, 1996: This is the year we met and began our long established relationship with Pastor John F. Caleb and his brother Pastor John Joshua and their families. Caleb adopted us as his parents and calls us Mum and Dad. We do love him as our son. These two brothers have arranged meeting for us in villages, streets, housetops, churches, outreach areas, schools, etc. We have seen the Lord move mightily with signs and wonders following the preaching of His Word. Many have been born again and many have received healings and miracles. It is through their ministries we have reached out to the orphans, widows, Bible Colleges and new churches.

Summer 1996: We went on a mission trip with Marilyn Hickey. Our first stop was Turkey. We flew from there into the Ukraine and boarded a ship to go down the Danube River to Romania and Bulgaria. We did street meetings and crusades in these countries.

1998 – 2009: These years have been trips to India usually for three to four weeks in January. We are still seeing God move throughout this land.

In 1999 we traveled to India twice, once in January and later in October.

In 2003, while in India we took a flight into Sri Lanka for a few days and stayed in the home of Upali and Preethi Ratnayake. We ministered in meeting they had arranged and visited the sites. We witnessed many salvations and miracles while there.
