Stan got  involved in the Martial Arts in 1970 after being jumped, beaten, tarred  and feathered by a teenage gang.

After several years of working out four hours daily, he became the Pennsylvania Tri-State Karate Champion in the adult  category. The discipline he learned from Karate helped him in many  other areas, especially his self-esteem and physical condition. Dr. Stan Harris obtained the Doctorate of Divinity Degree in 1993 from  Great Plains Baptist Divinity School. He has been evangelizing the world  for over 48 years. He has been on numerous Television and radio shows, including TBN, Day Star, In Your Corner, TCT TV, etc. Dr. Stan has spoken  in all 50 states and 28 countries and has been inducted into the  Motivational Hall of Fame as well as the Black Belt Hall of Fame.
