Testimony

Douglas was raised in a Christian home and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior at the age of 10. After graduating college, Douglas spent several years searching for God's direction for his life after having rejected a call for missions that he received during a missions conference. After re-dedicating his life to Jesus Christ in 1987, he spent a year concentrating on studying God's Word. God renewed His calling to Doug for full time Christian service which led to his short term assignment with Trans World Radio. One of Doug's favorite Bible verses is 1 Peter 2:11 ". . . That you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
