From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All About God Ministries Inc. is an evangelist organization based in Colorado Springs, Colorado that has created over 330 websites about creationism, science, archaeology, the occult, other faiths, business practices, Jesus, prayer, religion and similar subjects. All About God Ministry states that faiths such as Christian Science, Mormonism, Seventh Day Adventists and others are cults. All About God subscribes to biblical literalism and biblical inerrancy. All About God Ministries subscribes to Young Earth Creationism, believing that the earth is only a few thousand years old at most.

All About God consists of 2 paid employees, Director of Content Melissa Houdmann, a CEO and approximately 80 volunteers[1]. It was founded in 2002 in Mission Viejo, California.

The founder and CEO of All About God Ministries is Greg Outlaw who grew up in Southern California and dedicated himself to Jesus at the age of 12. He founded a successful internet company, but he then fell into a life of dissolution. Outlaw was diagnosed as being terminally ill with pancreatitis which may have resulted from chronic drug and alcohol abuse. He was bedridden and being fed intravenously and on a regime of powerful pain medications.[1] His biography suggests that he was miraculously cured when he turned down an offer from an unsavory venture capitalist, although chronic cases can be resolved with reduction of both alcohol and fat intakes.

Outlaw founded All About God Ministries after he lost his internet business.[2][1] Outlaw began attending services at Pastor Rick Warren's Saddleback Church and felt a calling to establish an internet ministry. It was also at Saddleback Church that he met attorney Randal Niles, who was to be his cofounder of All About God Ministries.[3] Randall Niles is listed as operations director and CFO of All About God Ministries in several sources.[4]

  • I think his disease and cure need more information. In addition there should be more discussion about the current ministry and how it was started. Orangemarlin 05:31, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
  • This looks quite encouraging, but we'd need at least another published source about it before it met the Wikipedia criteria for Notability I'm afraid. NBeale 07:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I dunno, i've seen much smaller articles kept with much less referencing.... Homestarmy 15:21, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
