June Narber Harrison
 June Narber Harrison
currently resides in Raleigh, NC with her husband of
nearly six years, Lars G. Harrison. She became a Sabbath
keeper in her mid-teens, against the wishes of her
family. She started attending the Worldwide Church of God
at the age of 18. She went on to Ambassador College (AC)
in Big Sandy from 1985-87. She went back to AC in 1992-93
and graduated with a Bachelor in Theology/liberal arts.
She also attended the University of Missouri-Columbia
where she took broadcasting, journalism and performance
in the visual media classes; and the University of North
Texas at Denton where she studied Music for a year.
In 1998, she completed her Masters degree of
Technology in International Development from North
Carolina State University, with a concentration in
cultural anthropology and forestry issues. For the
degree's internship requirements, she spent three months
in Thailand working with a non government organization
that works to prevent child prostitution; she also
conducted research regarding mangrove forest depletion in
the South Region of Thailand.
June's involvement with Sabbath related issues began
in 1994 when she became aware of the various Sabbath
keeping churches outside of WCG. With this knowledge, she
began visiting and corresponding with over twenty
different groups. On the internet, she is involved with
different groups which are networking people who are
concerned about preaching the truth more at the community
based level; women's issues and development; talent and
gift development; and spiritual counseling for those with
special needs not usually addressed by corporate Sabbath
keeping churches. One of her main concerns is the
international community and their unique cultural needs
in order to effectively help them to understand God's
truth, including the Sabbath. Today she considers herself
a member of the Spiritual Body of Christ, rather than any
one corporate entity. She fellowships with various groups
in her local area.
Currently, June is a freelance development consultant
specializing in cultural and environmentally based
development issues. In regard to this, she also does
writing and public speaking engagements. On the side, she
also is a traditional herbalist, offering herbs,
supplies, and alternative healing consulting through her
web based, June's Natural Healing Path, located
at http://hercurian.com/juneshealingpath/.
She also is involved in various independent research
projects involving environmental threats, indigenous
culture trends; traditional healing/herbal issues; and
child prostitution in Southeast Asia. She is also a
member of: The Independent Scholar's Association, The
Philippines Geological Association; Tarheel Rock and
Mineral Club; NCSU International Student Friendship
Program; NC Writing Association; American Business
Women's Associations; and University Women's
Associations. In her youth, she was an active member of
4-H; Girls Scouts; Future Homemakers of America (FHA);
Future Teachers of America (FTA); Marching and Concert
Bands; Girl's State Candidate; American Legion Auxiliary;
Science Clubs; and Phi Theta Kappa. While at Ambassador
College, she was involved with Outreach (a community
