The Brian Noble Home
Children's Foundation
Born in Borger, Texas in 1955, my life in ministry began when I traveled with my father, mother, brothers and sister in evangelism beginning in 1973.
After meeting my wife at Bible camp and corresponding for 2 years by phone and mail, we married on June 20th, 1975. Two months later in August, while listening to a sermon on tape, we both felt the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. Then and there we accepted Christ as our Savior. We then spent the next few years travelling in Evangelism with my parents, growing our family and our ministry.
For 11 years I trained under my father, preaching and ministering to churches in full-time evangelism. We traveled as a family: my parents, my siblings, and my growing family. In 1984 I felt the Lord calling me out on my own, to continue on in the ministry of evangelism. At that time my wife and I had 3 children: Brian, Leslee and Bradley.
Two years after striking out on our own, our oldest son Brian passed away due to an epileptic seizure. That was in 1986. While we grieve his passing, we also rejoice because he accepted Jesus Christ as his Savior just eight days before he died. We have this assurance that we will see his sweet face again. Our children's foundation is named in his honor.
We have continued on in our evangelistic ministry since then. We have enjoyed traveling all across the United States and being a help to pastors in whatever way we can for the Lord. In 2015 I celebrated my 42nd year in ministry. We look forward to the next 40 years and the wonderful things that God will do through us.
Our Testimony
Work in the local church
Vietnam
Pastor Woody Godbey, from Ft. Worth, Texas, called and asked me to go to Vietnam with him. After much research, prayer, and trusting God, we found an amazing national pastor. He, like Paul, has spent time in prison for preaching. There he continues to preach the Gospel to the guards and other prisoners!
In Vietnam, the need is more focused on the elderly. We have a Widow’s Care Program that supplies food and medicine to the elderly, but more than that, we make sure they hear of the saving Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. So far we have seen an average of 85% of these widows accept the Lord as their Savior, be baptized, and are now faithful members in the church.
In 1999 we accompanied a missionary that we supported on a trip to Romania. There our hearts were so touched by the spiritual need, we could not help but feel God wanted us to do something. When we returned we decided to establish The Brian Noble Children’s Foundation.
After much prayer, we began to share this need with the churches we were in revival with each week. The more we shared, the more we became involved. The more we became involved, the more we felt God expanding our ministry.
We began in Romania by remodeling a 100-year-old house for a group of 15 children. Eventually we moved to a different village where land had been donated to build homes for these abandoned children. We also established 3 gypsy churches, which are now in the hands of national pastors. God closed the door for us in Romania in 2009.
From there we worked in Honduras trying to establish a church. We discovered later that the area was in the center of a drug cartel’s area. We lost that battle but we still pray that God will open Honduras back up to us.
Currently we work in the Philippines, India, and Vietnam with the local churches to reach out to the lost in need of a Savior.
Overseas Missions
India
We help a Children’s Home in India that has about 18 children at any given time. The Director and House Mother is the daughter of a national pastor and oversees the care of these children.
The Philippines
God provided an opportunity for us to begin working with national pastors in the Philippines . We have set up feeding centers through these national churches, and at this time we are feeding thousands of children and reaching them and their families with the Gospel.
We have a Youth Camp in the month of May, hold evangelistic meetings, and every year we do a Christmas Gift program. This program, funded by churches in the United States, allows us to buy the children in our feeding centers a new pair of shoes, a toy, fruit, and candy. For most children, these are the only shoes they get through the whole year.
Our youngest son, Brad Noble, has been the pastor of the Gainesville Baptist Church since 2006. We are happy to be members of this church and its ministry.

In 2020 Harrell and his son, Pastor Brad Noble, joined together to start Noble Bibles, a bible repair and recovering service.
Using select genuine leathers in beautiful colors, patterns, and textures, Harrell and Brad can take your bible and transform it into an heirloom-worthy work of art. Whether you have a brand new bible you would like to customize, or a cherished family bible with loose pages and long memories, we will take the utmost care in handling your bible as if it were our own.
