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 South Carolina and dedicated himself to Jesus at the age of 12. But turn away from his faith at 14 to a life filled with drugs and alcohol. As a high functioning drug abuser and alcoholic, he founded a successful internet company, but he then fell into a life of dissolution. Outlaw was diagnosed as being terminally ill with chronic late stage pancreatitis which doctors said resulted from a high fat diet combined with 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 back to Jesus Christ and away from his destructive life style.

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)
