Harder employs his talent as a professional painter and graphic artist. He paints in oils, pastels and water colors. In 1992, God blessed him with a grand prize in the national contest “Letras Y Figueras”, sponsored by the Spanish Embassy.

He used his artworks effectively during his early years of evangelization; more so after he attended a Haggai Leadership Training in 2008 at Haggai Institute, Maui, Hawaii, USA Haggai International. The advent of Multi-Media Technology made Harder’s evangelization more interesting and in tune with the times. Harder was resource speaker in the recently held five-day Advanced Leadership Seminar of Haggai Institute in Iloilo City.

His computer graphics presentation largely illustrated his four – module lecture on Biblical Mandate for evangelization. Harder is presently Pastor of the Boulevard Baptist Church, Boulevard, Molo, Iloilo City and enjoys as an evangelist of the Iloilo Baptist Church at Lopez Jaena st, Jaro, Iloilo. He is a businessman and is the owner of Harder Artprints.
