Doug spent the summer of 1974 traveling with his sister Sandi throughout western and central Europe. They started in Holland and went as far as Romania, singing and preaching in coffee houses, on military bases, at missionary meetings, and at churches.
While Doug was teaching a course in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, he spent an evening in prayer and clearly felt the Lord speak to his heart about bringing his family full-time to this region of the world, the Horn of Africa. (They had previously been involved with plenty of short-term ministry and had spent 2 years in Burkina Faso, West Africa.) At this time they were pastoring in the Twin Cities area and teaching at North Central University—they completed the academic year, resigned from their school and church, raised support, and headed to Ethiopia, where they served a term before transferring to Togo and then to Kenya.

The Walking Street in Angeles City has about 15,000 girls that are trafficked in bars working for barely any money. Many girls are here sent by their families or were tricked into believing they would be waitresses. Due to extreme poverty, they have no option but to stay and send money back to their parents.This street is for tourists - Wipe Every Tear sends mission teams out to do bar ministry and invite girls to a banquet and the Girls Getaway trip to experience freedom like never before! Wipe Every Tear secured their first safe home in 2012. Since then they have served 200+ women. They have had contact with about 25% of the Walking Street through meal distribution. I believe they now have 5 safe homes and have 90+ women in their care. The harvest is ripe and girls want to be set free!!
