To offer resources and guidance to at-risk urban student athletes and their families.

To see the Lord bring eternal change in the lives of urban student athletes and their families, by partnering with churches, schools, businessmen and lawmakers.

Paraclete 46 is an inner-city outreach ministry focused on sharing the gospel of Christ by intentionally building relationships with at-risk urban student athletes and their families.
Paraclete, taken from the English transliteration of the Greek word paráklētos, signifies “one who consoles or comforts, one who encourages or uplifts; hence refreshes, and/or one who intercedes on our behalf as an advocate in court”. Number 46 was David’s Jersey number while with the Seattle Seahawks. He and his wife Holly were born and raised in Hawaii and after 10 years of ministering in Seattle’s Rainier Valley, the Lord brought them back home to operate the ministry out of the historic Palama Settlement in Honolulu.

David attended Boise State University and was drafted #31 in the 2nd round by the Seattle Seahawks. Both he and his wife Holly accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior through a Precept Bible Study with the team in 1985. Competing and winning at the highest levels had always been a part of David’s life. After having faced the death of his father at age 11, the death of his daughter, who was 22 the time, and almost 7 years later, his 10-day old grandson as well, he offers great insight to inner-city youth on living victoriously with joy despite your circumstances.

To bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to Greece and the Nations!

To transform the nation of Greece into a people who seek God’s heart and who serve Him wholeheartedly. As we see that happening, Greeks will once again be at the forefront of bringing Jesus to the nations – until the Lord returns!

Hellenic Ministries is an international, nondenominational Greek missions organization, seeking to serve Christ throughout Greece, the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean. Greece is in a strategic geographical location for launching out into these countries of Eastern Europe, as well as North Africa and the Middle East. It is also a steppingstone for refugees traveling west, bringing a unique opportunity to minister to these people. Hellenic Ministries purposes to reach communities holistically. Through evangelism, we share the message of the gospel with those we encounter. Through discipleship, we walk with others, helping them grow in their relationship with the Lord. Through acts of compassion, we help the impoverished by responding to physical and spiritual needs. And through training and support, we empower missions beyond the Greek borders.

YWAM Thailand is committed to expressing the Kingdom of God through training, evangelism, and mercy ministries in partnership with local churches and other organizations.

Living the Kingdom, transforming lives, impacting the nations.

Doug has now been fulltime missionary with YWAM in Bangkok for several years and has enjoyed the fruits of building up Thais in their Christian life to pursue their dreams in multimedia. Thais have little access to Christian materials thus, content created in Thai language, is key to generating a multiplying effect. Doug has already helped one Thai in video technology, who was recently hired by a news television station in Bangkok. Another Thai, a musician he has discipled for several years, has been involved in a Thai Christian album project, training seminars, and many live performances. Please pray for more Thais to have a large and bold vision to reach their nation.

Doug grew up in Bellevue and began attending Antioch Bible Church back in 1990. Friends at Antioch introduced Doug to Campus Crusade (CRU) the following year, and after joining them for an outreach in 1992 to Osaka, Japan, Doug became hooked on overseas missions. He continued to join CRU on their summer outreach projects and began praying for an open door to go fulltime. In 2003 that guidance came as a call to help a growing base that YWAM had established in Bangkok, Thailand, right across the street from a huge university. It was the perfect opportunity to use his software and media skills to help their vision of reaching out to youth through music and video and to also use his years of skills in connecting with university students for friendship evangelism.
