It is a privilege to recommend the Stroup Family for you to invite for a revival, special event, or concert. They are some of God's choice servants.

In March 2003, we had not only Doug and Amy, but their children as well. They really connected with our church family. They were well-prepared, kind and friendly to my people, hardworking, and cooperative with the pastor and preaching evangelist.

The children add a dimension to the music ministry that will benefit your church. Without a spoken word, the message is that families can and should serve the Lord together. I encourage you to invite the whole gang, you won't be sorry you did! Since Doug and Amy home school, they can come to your city any time.

Russ Stephens, Pastor, Silver Springs Baptist Church, Mt. Juliet, Tennessee

"This very talented musician plays and sings his heart out. With so much flesh-driven, doctrinally weak itinerate ministry done today, it has been quite refreshing to know about and make use of Doug Stroup and FOCUS Music Ministries."

Mike Otto, Pastor, Crossing Community Church, Newtown, PA.

"Doug's abilities are polished and professional. He does the tasks asked of him willingly and at a high level of achievement. However, the factor that makes Doug and his ministry successful is his heart. Doug is a man full of compassion with a heart to serve God and others. When he stands in front of a congregation, he does not entertain, but focuses the people to the Father through his words and actions. I recommend that every church allow Doug alone or with his quartet to help them focus on the Father through worship or a spirit filled concert."

Bobby Stevenson, Minister of Music, First Baptist Church, Locust Grove, GA.

"Thank you for your participation at our Together for Life memorial service and walk at the State Capitol.  I value your support and your presence helped raise the awareness to our fellow Georgians.  As I look forward to the future, I can see us working together to restore respect and legal protection for all human beings.  I love your music." 

Caryl F. Swift, President, GA Right To Life Committee, Norcross, GA.

"The spiritual quality and Biblical lyric joined to a worshipping heart makes Doug's music unique."

Rev. Bill Franklin, Pastor, Hope Church, Lilburn, GA.

"I highly recommend Doug Stroup and Focus Music Ministries! I have known Doug since his teenage years and can say confidently that both his life and music glorify the Lord Jesus Christ."

Rev. Buford Adams, Pastor, Community Bible Church, Stockbridge, GA.

"Doug centers his ministry solely on exalting Christ and also ministers well to a diverse audience, from the children to the elderly. Your church or organization will be blessed abundantly by his ministry."

Rev. David W. Cox, Pastor, Hillcrest Baptist Church, Williamston, SC.

"The spirit in which he sings truly focuses the attention on the Lord. You will be encouraged, Christ will be exalted, God's Word will be shared, and lives will be touched as the Lord works through Doug."

Rev. Carl Greene, Pastor, Grace Community Fellowship, Newnan, GA.

"Thank you so much for participating as the worship leader and guest soloist at our recent Together for Life Memorial Service.  Your commitment to the cause of life helped to make the day so special.  I heard so many positive comments about the music.  Every song seemed so Spirit-led.  I look forward to working with you again in the future."

 Lisa F. Sutton, Director of Special Events, GA Right To Life, Norcross, GA.

"At a recent chapel service we had with him, his music and message came obviously from his Christ-like concern for the salvation of the lost and the growth of Christians. Doug understands the nature of high school students and relates well within that context. I believe your students will be blessed by the Lord through him."

James R. VanDuzer, Principal, Lehigh Valley Christian High School, Allentown, PA.

"Your message was timely and appropriate. Thank you for taking your valuable time to share with us."

Oliver Steele, Principal, The King's Academy, West Palm Beach, FL.

"The quality and selection of Doug's music is outstanding. His genuineness and sincerity is evident, as is his musical talent. I encourage you to experience the rich blessing of exceptional music, not for entertainment, but for real ministry to the heart."

David Barber, Principal, Old National Christian Academy, College Park, GA.

"I was impressed by the sincerity and effectiveness of his ministry. This young man was an outstanding example of integrity and prayerful Godliness with a genuine servant's heart."

Richard A. Steele, Youth Pastor, Grace Community Church, Pharr, TX.

"It is so refreshing to find a group who is so deeply committed to our Lord and Savior. Their style of music bridges all age groups. In a recent crusade in our church, I came to the conclusion that they really do help you FOCUS on the Savior. I would not hesitate in scheduling them for a youth revival, church renewal or crusade. God has His hand on this ministry."

Andrew Ragan, Pastor, Eastside Baptist Church, McDonough, GA.

"Doug added depth and leadership to our youth week. He has a real talent for relating to people and for leading praise and worship times in any service. Relating especially well to our senior high and young couples, the adult Bible study tried to steal him for their program at every opportunity. We had no choice but to bring him back! If your church enjoys good music that focuses on Jesus, then schedule Doug Stroup of FOCUS Music Ministries!"

John R. Hamilton, Minister of Youth/Singles, Lake Shore United Methodist Church, Jacksonville, FL.
