Bob Harris

Bob has a son (Yohanna) and daughter (Elizabeth) in Jos, Nigeria, whom he met in 2008 when traveling with a team from Moody Church to help conduct a Bible camp at orphanages. When God led each of them to Bob to be their dad, he eagerly agreed. Becoming a dad to Yohanna and Elizabeth is one of the greatest blessings God has given Bob. Last May, Bob added his first grandchild to his blessings when son Yohanna and his wife Pamela had a son they named Robert.



Before retiring and moving to Huntley, Bob served for several years as a deacon, Awana Cubbies leader, and Sunday School leader. In October 2019, Bob began attending The Orchard Marengo; becoming a member in Spring 2020. Bob serves as a Cubbies leader and is a member of a Thursday night LIFE Group. Bob is also a member of a men’s Bible study in Sun City and teaches a Bible study at a homeless ministry in Elgin, IL.

Bob’s desire is to contribute to the strengthening, growth, and unity of The Orchard Marengo. He hopes to help the church develop a greater understanding and appreciation of the importance and power of corporate prayer.
