Dr. Doyle Jones has traveled the World starting churches, holding crusades and leading thousands to a personal decision for Christ. He came from humble beginnings in a small East Texas town. His dad was murdered when he was three years old leaving him, three older brothers, and two older sisters to survive with their mother under difficult circumstance.
Alcohol was introduced in the family early on. It became a way of life for Doyle’s three older brothers and Doyle got drunk for the first time when he was ten. But when he was eleven a neighbor and her husband came by and asked his mom if he could go to church with them. That invitation changed Doyle’s destiny.
Not long after his conversion Doyle had a dream that a party was going on in front of his house. Cars were arriving while people were having a wild time. But in the dream, instead of finding parking places, the cars were plunging over a precipice. Doyle began to run in slow motion trying to stop them but before he could get to them he awakened. The Spirit spoke to an eleven year old boy to tell him that his mission in life was to keep people from going into eternal darkness.
Doyle attended Southwestern Assemblies of God University when he was 18 and, upon graduation, began to travel as an itinerant evangelist. Soon he was conducting crusades overseas. In 1974 he married Cherie, the daughter of a pastor in Louisiana. They became missionary evangelists planting churches in various countries in Latin America. In 1991 Doyle assumed the position of Missions Director at Southwestern Assemblies of God University where he taught for 14 years. During that time he completed his Doctor of Ministry Degree and taught 25 different courses, mostly in Bible and Missions. He continued his church planting efforts in the summers traveling to nations around the globe and mentoring over 150 students who went with him to assist him in his efforts.
Doyle has seen multitudes healed in his crusades including the blind, the deaf and the lame. In addition, thousands have received the mighty baptism in the Holy Spirit through his teaching on the subject of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. His book, Be Filled with the Spirit, has sold thousands and people of all walks of life have received the infilling of the Spirit after reading the book.
Doyle and Cherie have planted over 40 churches, one of which now numbers 25,000. This missionary couple now travels full time at home and abroad. The Jones’ have two sons, Donovan and Nathan, both of whom are in the ministry.
