What People Are Saying About Doug Stroup...


"Your devotion was truly inspirational. A definite contribution to the lives of all who heard"
Truett Cathy, founder, Chick-fil-A, Inc., Atlanta, GA.


"He has a desire to serve God and to strive for excellence in his musical endeavors. He truly has a heart for the church and what God is doing in the world today. We're sure he would be an asset to any church that puts ministry above entertainment. Barbi and I have appreciated Doug's gentle and sincere spirit. We highly recommend him."
Terry and Barbi Franklin, Franklin Ministries, Inc., Nashville, TN.

"His life both personally and professionally exhibits the love of Christ. The name "Focus Music Ministries" is a good one because he is indeed focused on serving our Savior. If you would like someone to lead your church in worship to the throne of God through exciting music and stirring testimony then I recommend to you Doug Stroup. His music will touch your heart and his message will change your life."
Rev. Timothy P. Dowdy, Pastor, Eagle's Landing First Baptist Church, McDonough, GA.
"Though he has a tremendous musical voice, his heart of love and passion for ministry is all encompassing throughout his presentation.  His music was more than lyrics.  His voice was coming from a heart of passion for ministry in the name of Jesus Christ.  He is sold out to our Lord in service to Him.  Doug's desire is to genuinely 'preach Jesus' wherever God leads him.  More than simply having the ability to sing, Doug possesses the God-given gift and calling of music.  After prayer, I encourage you to schedule him for a ministry event with you and your congregation as soon as possible."                                                                                                                    Randy M. Cheek, Pastor, Ash Street Baptist Church, Forest Park, 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.


"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.

"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'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.

"What a joy it was to have you and your family with us in concert.  Your music was uplifting and very worshipful.  Our people are still talking about what a blessing it was to them.  There was just a wholesomeness in the program that brought warmth and inspiration to us all.  We look forward to having you back with us."                                          Tom Daugherty, Pastor, Heatherwood Baptist Church, Riverdale, 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.
