Originally from Chicago, Pastor Melvin Harris has made the metro Atlanta area his home for many years, where he resides with his wife, Evangelist Cinderella Harris, and their children. In 1989, Pastor Harris discovered a deep passion for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and ministering to those in need. It was during this time that he accepted his calling into evangelism, committing his life to service and the transformative power of the Word.

In 2008, Pastor Harris and his wife founded S.T.A.N.D. World Ministries—an acronym for Salvation To All Nationalities and Diversities. Through this ministry, God opened doors to serve communities both spiritually and practically. S.T.A.N.D. has been instrumental in feeding the hungry, clothing the needy, furnishing homes, and, above all, spreading the message of salvation to all who are willing to receive it with an open heart. Throughout this journey, Pastor Harris's wife has remained his greatest support and ministry partner, and together they continue to walk faithfully in their God-given assignment.

In 2022, Pastor Harris and his family became aligned with My Father’s House Pentecostal Church (MFHPC), where they serve faithfully. In addition to leading S.T.A.N.D. World Ministries, Pastor Harris also oversees both the MFHPC Men’s Ministry and the MFHPC Outreach Ministry, continuing his mission of equipping and uplifting individuals through Christ-centered programs.

Pastor Harris is deeply committed to empowering others through practical training, biblical teaching, and spiritual guidance. His mission is to help individuals grow in faith and maturity, equipping them to achieve their life goals through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Pastor Condilea Henry was nurtured in a family deeply rooted in prayer and devotion to God. From the very beginning—even in her mother’s womb—she has been guided by the hand of God. Her mother, a devoted Evangelist and Prayer Warrior, instilled in her a foundational commitment to a life of prayer, fasting, and a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

From a young age, Pastor Henry displayed a deep passion for the work of the Lord. She actively participated in youth ministries such as the Sunshine Band, YPWW (Young People Willing Workers), the Purity Class, AIM, and the youth drama team. As she matured, her hunger to see souls saved and lives transformed grew stronger. Her calling to intercessory prayer became clear as she stepped into roles that included teaching Sunday School, ministering to the elderly, engaging in street evangelism, and serving in the homeless, hospitality, mental health, and outreach ministries—all for the glory of God.

In 1999, Pastor Henry was ordained as a Minister under the spiritual leadership of the late Apostle Frank Mobley and Apostle Christine Sherman in Alabama. During this time, her ministry expanded, and she was invited to join the intercessory prayer team, where lives were changed through disciplined prayer, fasting, and study of the Word.

Following divine direction, Pastor Henry and her family relocated to Kansas, where in 2000 she was ordained an Evangelist under the late Supervisor Alberta Davis. She served faithfully in every assignment God placed before her. In 2003, she was elevated and ordained as a Pastor under the leadership of Pastor Samuel Johnson.

Led by the Holy Spirit, Pastor Henry pursued higher education and earned a Bachelor's Degree in Community Health with a Minor in Sociology. This allowed her to merge her educational background with her ministry work, helping to lead others to Christ through a holistic approach to healing and transformation.

In 2010, God led her family to Georgia to continue their ministry journey. In 2021, the vision for End Times Ministries was birthed. Pastor Henry currently serves at My Father's House Penetcostal Church with Senior Pastor LaTanya Smith, Executive Pastor Tawanna Grant, and Pastor Melvin Harris. There, she leads the Intercessory Prayer Team and serves faithfully as Pastor.

In addition to her ministry roles, Pastor Henry is a devoted wife to Deacon Gliford Henry and mother of two, as well as a spiritual mother to many. Her life and service are anchored by her personal motto: "Journey Strong in God, and He will Journey Strong in You."
