 Pastor John Larkam is Senior Pastor of World Harvest Outreach Church, a dynamic and growing Spirit-filled, non-denominational church in Austin, Texas. Pastor John was born in Austin, the youngest of five children. He graduated from Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science. Upon graduation, Pastor John worked for Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company as a Group Marketing Representative, where he became one of Transamerica’s top national producers.
On January 19, 1986, Pastor John began attending church regularly and had a powerful conversion experience in which he dedicated his life to Jesus Christ and received the baptism with the Holy Spirit. He began to sense the call of God on his life for ministry and, in August 1987, Pastor John answered that call and left Transamerica to begin working full-time in the ministry.
After ten years of serving faithfully in the ministry of helps, serving on paid staff in two ministries, and graduating from bible school, Pastor John sensed the call to begin a new church in his hometown of Austin, Texas.
In November 1995, Pastor John left California (where he was serving in a church and where he had graduated from bible school), to start World Harvest Outreach Church in Austin, Texas.
Pastor John’s ministry is characterized by his clear and simple teaching of the scriptures and the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit.
Pastor Alison Larkam co-pastors World Harvest Outreach Church along with her husband, Pastor John. Pastor Alison was born in El Paso, Texas, a triplet and one of four children. She graduated from San Diego State University in San Diego, California with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. She also graduated from bible school (along with Pastor John). Pastor Alison worked as a registered nurse until the birth of their first child.
Pastors John and Alison met in church and were married on November 21, 1987. They have two daughters, Catherine and Stephanie. They count it an honor and privilege to lead the flourishing congregation of World Harvest Outreach Church.
