We are so proud of Doug. He has been a member of The Worship Center since 1990. When Doug first came to us, he had a zeal in his heart for reaching the lost, particularly children and others who had never heard the Gospel. He immediately became active in the Children's Church and other Kids' Ministries here.

Doug also became one of our main Ushers. He proved himself faithful in several departments of the church. What is so impressive is that Doug is legally blind! He doesn't drive, ride a bike or have any other convenient modes of transportation. When he couldn't get a ride to the church, he would walk - even in the snow and rain!

Doug's world vision came into focus as he learned more and more about the numbers of unreached people groups still remaining. He began to pray about what he could do to help people in other countries hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He began taking his summers and going on missions outreach trips.                             

During these trips, the Lord opened Doug's eyes to what he should be doing with his life. Doug determined that the Lord would have him finish college and go into ministry fulltime. Instead of choosing a college or university that had special programs for the blind, Doug wanted to go to a school that had a special emphasis on world missions. About that time, Doug suffered other personal crises, and on top of that, his voicebox "went out," leaving him unable to speak above a whisper. For most people, assaults on this many levels would've caused them to draw back - especially from a call to overseas missions and ministry!

Overcoming not only his physical limitations, but enduring faithfully through other personal life challenges, Doug went to Asbury College in Wilmore, KY for the beginning of his Christian ministry education and later he transferred to Southern Methodist College in Orangeburg, SC. to finish his training for missions.

Doug is now serving the Lord fulltime in the UK and has been for the past several years. To see what he's been up to and what the Lord has been doing through him, check out the monthly updates on his website, DougAmbrose.com.

In 2007, Doug Ambrose became a Reverend and married his sweetheart, Sue. Sue and her two kids now join Doug in his work in the UK for the Lord.
 

 
"Whenever we point out a personal flaw, weakness or a reason why we feel we're exempt from the call of God, we find someone else with that same flaw, that same weakness or that same reason who is actively pursuing total discipleship and all-out obedience. Doug Ambrose is one of those heroic examples. What a challenge!" - Dr. Steve Davis
