Video Presentation: Dedication of Registered Texas Historical Landmark at Local Home
[Editor’s Note: Included in this article is a video of the dedication and below that, a slideshow of pictures from the past]
Saturday, June 30, 2018, a Registered Texas Historical Landmark designation was unveiled at the home of Monty and Vivian Dennis Monzingo, a colonial style house built in 1939 at 333 College Street and known locally as the Ashcroft House. Mayor John Sellers presented a history of the house, introduced the children of the Ashcroft family, and the current owners of the house who sought the designation. The designation is a higher designation than a historical landmark. The County Courthouse is the only other building in Hopkins County with the designation.
A Registered Texas Historical Landmark is not only based on the history of the building but also on architecture. There has been an addition made to the original structure but that was 50 years ago and the architectural style was carried out in the addition. The designation does not mandate that the family open the house for tourists. However, any changes or repairs to the house will require approval by the state historical commission.

L. to R. Prophet K B Harris, Pastor Deborah Sharper and Sister Vender Wright
Pastor Sharper, Sister Vender Wright and Prophet H.B. Harris gave an interview during the KSST Good Morning Show with Enola Gay, where listeners learned that the church began in Cooper nine years ago, then moved to the Sulphur Springs location (formerly Boys and Girls Club facility) in October 2017. Harris related his path to salvation in the Chicago area where he was involved in the drug culture. He received a calling and broke free from the lifestyle, quickly becoming activated to preach and help others imprisoned by drugs. He conducts tent revivals and evangelizing conferences across the eastern half of the US, and has also developed a “Second Chance” school for troubled dropouts whee they can earn a high school diploma and a second chance for a productive life.
Pastor Deborah Sharper raised 8 children in Sulphur Springs and always had a strong faith, but received a calling and became an ordained minister and chaplain. She established a congregation in Cooper, and owns property there where she hopes to return to build a permanent church home. Meantime, she is serving her congregation at the Sulphur Springs facility, conducting a DayHab for special needs adults, and operating a School of Chaplaincy where lay pastors can earn a chaplain’s certification and seek employment in that career.
Asked what role she plays in the church, Sister Vender Wright said “See these two hands? I use them for whatever the Lord’s work calls for!” She also invites the public to regular services at New Beginnings Healing and Deliverance Ministry at 201 E. Houston Street.
