“The more you live the Bible the more blessed your life will be.”
– Dr. Doug Ley
If it's one thing that defines us, it is this: We are both committed to Jesus Christ…
no matter the call, no matter the cost.
From the business world to the military, from over 10 years in the pastorate to the last 22 years in overseas work (seminaries and leadership) we are passionate about helping others know the freedom only to be found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and living in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Doug received his ThM (Master of Theology) degree from Dallas Seminary and a DMin (Doctorate of Ministry) in Apologetics from Southern Evangelical Seminary. As President of Serving Beyond Borders, he serves the Evangelical Spirit-filled ministry that seeks to encourage and empower cross-cultural workers and nationals in their work to advance the Gospel throughout the world.
Paula has served in leadership positions with various organizations both home and abroad; serving in discipleship, pastoral care, women’s initiatives, and administration. She holds a BTh (Bachelor of Theology) from Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary.
Doug and Paula have four married children spread across the world, and twenty grandchildren (!). And like the Apostle John in 3 John 4, they have no greater joy than to know their children walk in truth, whose name is Jesus! They truly believe that the legacy of making disciples who make disciples begins in the home and multiplies outward.
When not traveling, they also serve at a thriving church in the Tampa Bay area, training young men and women to make disciples who make disciples.
