Bro. HarreLl Henton
Minister & Servant of God
”Minister Harrell Henton has been working for the Lord for as long as he can remember. Under the guidance of his grandfather, Robert Holt Sr. he has made the grand decision to dedicate his full life to the work of the Lord and His church.
He is a graduate of Miami Carol City Senior High School and after finishing there, he matriculated to Florida Memorial College, where studied Communications. Beginning his path toward the work of the church, he became a Christian, being baptized into the body of Christ, on January 10, 1993, at the tender age of 9. From there, continuing to spend time with his grandfather and mentor, Robert Holt Sr., he began to learn an abundance of the Word of God, words of wisdom, and just in general becoming a man. Little did he know at the time that he was being groomed to one day take over the Ministry of the Brownsville Church of Christ. In August of 2011, Harrell was handed the torch in the delivery of God's word. He was installed as the full-time Minister of the Brownsville Church of Christ on the 22nd day of August. From there, he decided to make it his mission to continue to build the Brownsville congregation as a loving and family-oriented church until Jan 2026. He is currently the full-time Minister of Sugar Creek Church of Christ where he is a devoted Servant, Leader, & Man of God.
With the support and encouragement of his family and membership, he has begun to build this church, increasing membership, creating more programs, and strengthening the programs already in existence. As a young man leading a great church, many times it can be difficult, but Minister Henton understands that success does not come without hard work, but he knows that with God all things are possible! Brother Henton is married to a wonderful helpmeet, Kellee, and they have two beautiful kids, Kaleah, and Harrison. With a full-time position as a Chaplain, and a full-time Ministry, Bro. Henton has his plate full. But he is up for the challenge and having a close relationship with the Lord and living by the Word of God, he knows that he will be blessed, no matter what the situation is. Bro. Henton's encouragement to many, and one of his favorite scriptures, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding, In all thy ways acknowledge him, and He shall direct thy path (Proverbs 3:5-6). To the youth, remember the race is not given to the swift or
the strong, but to those that endure until the end.“

Don’t Give Up!
by Min. Harrell Henton
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” — Proverbs 3:5–6
There are moments in life when clarity feels distant and the road ahead uncertain. In those seasons, our natural instinct is to rely on our own reasoning, to calculate outcomes, and to control what lies before us. Yet Scripture gently redirects our focus—not to our limited understanding, but to God’s infinite wisdom.
Trust is not passive; it is an active surrender. It means choosing faith over fear, obedience over hesitation, and dependence over self-sufficiency. When we acknowledge God in all our ways—not just the convenient or comfortable ones—we invite Him to shape our direction with purpose and precision.
Today, consider where you may be leaning too heavily on your own understanding. Release it. Place it before God in prayer. His guidance may not always align with your expectations, but it will always lead you where you need to be.
Walk forward in trust. God is already ahead of you, making the path straight.
