BJ Harris was born in New York, but grew up in the south where he experienced much antisemitism. In college, he began doing drugs and writing music, taking up guitar as an alternative to going to classes. At 19 he accidentally found himself a teenage atheist in Israel, which had a profound affect on his life. In his senior year in college BJ had an encounter with the Spirit of the God he did not believe in, which turned him into a seeker of the supernatural, where he wandered through many experiences before a dramatic encounter with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob ended a 10 year journey seeking the way the truth, and the life! BJ had the honor and privilege to lead Baht Rivka Whitten to the Lord many years ago.
