Since then they have ministered to some 5,000 people in rural Ghana through crusades, conferences, & medical outreaches. They are planning to return to their native country of Ghana in June 2019. They will resume their ministry in Biblical & leadership training for rural pastors & evangelists, medical outreach, and rural kids education. They desire to impact Africa with Christ s love. Doug was saved at age 12 and Elaine at age 5. After completing college, both worked in the business world before Doug entered Seminary. Doug was 10 years in pastoral ministry before entering missions in 1991. The family (including children, Kara and Sheldon) served two terms in Australia. Since 2001 Doug has been involved in assisting national churches in sending their own missionaries to reach their own people, or into nearby countries.

After college, she returned to PA and became more involved in the local music scene, playing regularly in coffeehouses and churches and leading worship for various events around the world. The Lord also used this time to prepare her for future ministry. In 2007 He called her to work with Craig & Debbie Borgard in Schkeuditz, Germany, where she ministered for 7½ years. Since September 2016, she has had the privilege of working alongside Jeff & Anne Ingram to plant a church among atheists in Dresden, Germany.
