Bishop Henry Hearns
Henry Wyatt Hearns was born to Earnest and Birdie Hearn on April 23, 1933, in Byhalia, Mississippi. The first of five children, Bishop Hearns was and is a born leader. The Lord had his hands on him, from a miraculous birth that almost cost his mother’s life as well as his own, to the baseball field at New Zion Baptist Church. A deacon heard The Lord’s voice and took the young, twelve year-old Henry into the “church house” from off the field and prayed for him to receive Jesus. “The Lord’s got somethin’ for you to do, son...you gon’ do great things.”
