International Evangelists and supporters of churches in Australia, Fiji, the Philippines and the United States, the Stanton’s have ministered in various parts of the world for most of their ministry. Their United States base is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They have travelled as a family until the kids became adults. All the Children are still involved in ministry.

Doug Stanton was powerfully converted to Christ in 1978, at the age of 22. Divinely healed from a disease in his back and made whole from a serious head injury, Doug found that the God of his salvation was also “the Lord that healeth thee.” God’s awesome love, Doug realized, was to be experienced, not just studied. He was a businessman when called to ministry.

The Stanton’s have pioneered, established and pastored several churches prior to their international ministry and several during this last 20 years. Doug has built a number of church buildings from the ground up. He also built and established a Christian School, Rehabilitation Center, Bible College and most recently the DSMI Ministry Center in Crystal, MN.
