HARVEY

a n d

H ELEN B EA RD

Where in

the world have Harvey

and

Helen

Beard

been

the

last 'ew years? India?

Thailand? The Philippines?

Australia?

Yes.

all of these

guesses

are correct and more. At

the age

when many

would

be

seeking a quiet

place to retire,

H and

H Beard. Inc. have

kept their suitcases packed and their

passports in hand, answ ering the call to

those faraway places .

Harvey

was

born October 7 1914 in

Maryville,

California

to

William

and Jenni e

Beard. In

1933 he

received an A A

degree

from

Vuba

County Junior College. In 1935

he

received an

A.B.

from Paci f ic Bible

Seminary,

hi s

M A in 1936, and a B.D. in

1950.

H e

h ad a lso received an A.B. in

1948

from

the

University of California and

hi s

M A

from UC

in

1955.

He

began

teaching

at

Pacific

Christian College in 1936

besides

preaching part-time for 17 years.

Helen

w as born

J u n e

15 ,

1915

in

Covina,

C al if or ni a t o P.E. an d E m m a

St an t on

S h e

received her B A degree from P.C.C. in 1937

and a B.S. in music in 1971. She and Harvey

wer e m ar rie d N ov embe r

23, 1938

and have

five children;

David,

Roger . Ruth .

Martha,

and Philip.

The Beards' world t ravels began in 1963.

when the president of

Pacific Bible

Seminary urged Harvey to

go

on a

Bible

lands

tour. For 20 years Harvey had

served

as missionary chairman of t he Parkc re st

Church

of

Christ

in

Long

Beach where

he

was an elder. During this lime he had

corresponded

with many missionaries.

So it

was that

Harvey determined to visit

as many

missions as possible while

on tour.

He

visi ted

seve ra l

mi ss i ons in th e U S.

an d

th e

Guy Mayfields in Italy on

hi s

first tour.

Another

lour

followed in 1968 to Europe

and

the

Holy Land. During this time Harvey

taught a Bible

class

in

the

Lugano Christian

Service Camp

in Italy Harvey's interna

tional teaching tours had begun Each

summer he returned to Italy meeting other

mis sio na rie s which led to

teaching

in

Switzer land,

Germany,

Belgium,

and

F r a n c e

Following other P.C.C. lours, Harvey

took

a

s ix-month sabba tical teaching

in Hawaii.

Japan,

Korea, Hong

Kong,

and the

Philippines,

He

taught

a full semester in

Kenmore Christian College

in

Brisbane.

Queens land Austral ia . The remainder

of

the trip was

spent

with missionaries in

Thailand,

Rome,

Switzerland, and

England,

and

Bible sites

in

Iran. Turkey,

and Greece.

In 1979 Harvey and

Helen we re a sk ed

to

spend a

year

teaching in AparrI Bible

Seminary

in

the

Philippines

while

Charles

and

Roberta Selby were

on furlough, On

the

way,

they taught m Kulpahar. India and

spoke at a

convention

of hundreds of

Christians in Sitapur

and

taught

Bible

in

Thai land o n th e u rm a b ord er

Their planned one yea r in the Philippines

extended to

three

years, ending in

March

of

1983. During the school breaks, Harvey and

Helen continued the ir t ravels , returning to

India. Thailand, and J apan .

Now home

again

in California, the

Beards

can

reflect

back on

the

way

the

Lord

supplied all of their

needs

over the years.

Sometimes

just to

the penny,

funds would

be

supplied

for the ir work of

encouragement

and

instruction.

Where will Harvey and

Helen travel

next? No

one knows , but

they

will

be

ready
