Doug
Woolley graduated from USF in 1989 with a B.S. Engineering degree in
Computer Science. Upon graduation, Doug worked as a part of the Management
Association Program at NCNB (now known as Bank of America). Currently he is
a Systems Engineer for Verizon (formerly GTE) and has traveled often to
Portugal and to Venezuela to install and implement a new computer software
system that produces phone bills for these countries. Working evenings, his
current responsibilities include overseeing and monitoring most of Verizon’s
mainframe computer software systems and troubleshooting any problems.
As a
senior in high school, Doug was ranked #1 in Florida in both Mathematics and
Computer Science. He was named as one of the top 300 high school scientists
in America by the Westinghouse Talent Search for his computer program that
graphically solves the Rubik’s Cube and other mathematical puzzles. By the
age of 20, he became a co-author of a college text book on computers.
Doug grew
up attending the Lutheran Church and entered a personal relationship with
Christ through faith at the age of 13. While attending college, he joined a
dormitory Bible study that led him into a deeper walk with God. Soon
afterwards, Doug received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and became an
effective witness for the Lord Jesus. With a passion for studying and
teaching the Bible, Doug has led weekly Bible Studies for years with
interested college students, church members, co-workers, and ministry
interns. He recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bible/Theology degree
at North Central University (an A/G college), and he is more than half-way
through his graduate studies for a Masters in Bible/Theology at Southwestern
A/G University, maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Doug has taught college level Bible
courses through One Accord School of Ministry from 2004 – 2006 and Generate
School of Ministry from 2008.
Doug has
served FGBMFI (Full Gospel Business Men’s Fellowship International) as
Vice-President of the Tampa chapter, State Treasurer for Florida, and as an
International Director at Large. Doug currently serves as a National
Director (and as the webmaster) for the FGBMFI.
Doug
resides in Tampa, Florida with his wife Marsha, son Isaac, and newly adopted
son Dimitri (from Kazakhstan). Doug and Marsha Woolley are living proof that
opposites do attract. Doug was born in North Tarrytown, New York while
Marsha was born in Ghana, West Africa to missionary parents. Doug spent most
of his life studying and excelling in academics while Marsha spent most of
that time in the principal’s office for talking, but she now speaks seven
languages and is a popular speaker at women’s conventions throughout the USA
and other countries. She is now serving as Director of Women’s Ministries
for the Assemblies of God in the Peninsular Florida District, serving 350
churches. Marsha excels as a preacher and singer. Both Doug and Marsha enjoy
building up other people by sharing foundational truths.
