Doug and Kelley Samuelson are founders of Hope Renewed Inc. They have a deep love for Jesus Christ and a passion for ministry. With over 40 years of combined ministry experience, they have served in various leadership roles and are both ordained apostolic leaders. Their mission and calling can be summed up by Isaiah 61:1, which highlights their dedication to spreading the gospel, helping people overcome addiction and spiritual strongholds, bringing hope to those facing trials, teaching from scripture to foster spiritual maturity in Christ, and prophetically guiding and releasing individuals into their Kingdom destiny.

One of their notable contributions to ministry has been their leadership with Global Teen Challenge internationally and Adult & Teen Challenge nationally, for the past 17 years. They have also been involved with Blood and Fire Ministries in Costa Rica, where Kelley established a women's trade and discipleship school to empower women seeking a transformative change in their lives. Additionally, they have held various church leadership roles, including leading worship.

Doug and Kelley's commitment extends to mentoring and equipping others for Kingdom ministry, with the goal of raising up spiritual sons and daughters. Their life's mission to restore hope to those facing trials has been deeply influenced by their own experiences of redemption.

They reside in Columbus, Georgia, and have a large and diverse family that includes children, grandchildren, spiritual children, godchildren, cherished nieces and nephews, as well as three little dogs.
