Doug and Lori McCaryDoug and Lori, his wife, both grew up in  Meridian, Mississippi and entered into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as young children. They married in 1983 and began an eight year career in the Marine Corps where Doug flew the AV-8B Harrier. In 1987, Doug was flying on a low-level training mission and had a birdstrike. A five-pound turkey buzzard crashed through his windscreen, critically injuring him and severely damaging the plane. After this near-fatal mishap, the Lord provided Doug with many opportunities to share his testimony.

Doug sharing with President MoiIn 1991, they moved on to a new career with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Jacksonville, Florida. While in the FBI, Doug worked on drug investigations and the S.W.A.T. team. This job offered great opportunities to share the Gospel with F.C.A. groups and many civic organizations. As a stay at home Mom, Lori became involved in the leadership of a ministry called Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), which has given her many opportunities to minister and speak to women. In September 1994, Doug took vacation time from his job with the FBI and traveled to Russia on a short-term mission trip sponsored by East West Ministries, Intl. This trip changed their lives. They both sensed God’s call to full time ministry and in Jan. 1995, Doug resigned from the FBI and was ordained as a minister of the Gospel. Doug has spoken to people around the world about Christian Spirituality as it relates to daily life. Known internationally for his freshness, authenticity, and cultural sensitivity, he has spoken to millions of people through radio, television, and evangelistic events.
