Who we are:
Down to Earth Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit organization registered under Internal Revenue Code 501(c)3, founded on September 18, 2002, by Larry and Ashley Lee.

What we do:
Down to Earth Ministries, Inc. exists to equip Christians to share the gospel of Jesus Christ in an effective, biblical manner and to defend the Christian faith in a manner that is gracious and humble, yet direct and winsome.

How we do what we do:
Down to Earth Ministries, Inc. provides training in various environments - churches, small groups, Sunday Schools, fellowship groups, schools (both public and private) and even on the Internet. We train Christians both "in the classroom" and "on the streets," teaching principles of evangelism and apologetics in the classroom, and modeling such principles on the streets. Often, we will take Christians to large gatherings, such as festivals, concerts, ball games or other public venues to let them observe as we share the Gospel with people and answer questions that arise as we are doing so. Our primary goal is to help Christians fulfill the Great Commission (see Matthew 28:18-20).

What we have done so far:
Down to Earth Ministries, Inc., since its inception in 2002, has provided training for thousands of people in evangelism and Christian apologetics. We have shared the Gospel on both local and national radio programs, as well as on a number of local and national television programs. Understanding that all of this would be impossible without God's involvement, we have distributed hundreds of thousands of Gospel tracts (at events such as music concerts, professional sporting events and large music and arts festivals), and provided Bibles to many thousands of non-Christians as well. The influence of the ministry has stretched overseas as well, as we have trained missionaries to Africa and Asia, and sent thousands of Gospel tracts to such places as Kenya, China, Thailand and Mexico. Ashley and Larry Lee have appeared on the award-winning television program entitled The Way of the Master, hosted by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort.

Who our founders are:
Larry and Ashley Lee are the founders of Down to Earth Ministries, Inc. Along with their four daughters, they reside near Charlotte, NC. Larry graduated from Furman University with a degee in Science (Political Science, that is) and Ashley graduated from Clemson University with a degree in Education. Both have studied the Bible extensively, and both have completed vigorous training in Christian apologetics and evangelism. Larry is currently pursuing a Masters Degree at Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, NC - his degree will be a Masters of Arts in Apologetics. Both Larry and Ashley share the Gospel daily, whether they are on a planned training outing or just "on the go" in their daily lives.

Why we do what we do:
Down to Earth Ministries, Inc. is operated in light of the following statistic - ten out of ten people die. All mankind will one day have to face God, whether they believe He exists or not. We operate this ministry with the understanding that all of us share a common problem - sin; and the consequence of sin is death. We also understand, however, that through the life, death and subsequent resurrection of Jesus Christ, death has been defeated, and forgiveness and eternal life have been made available to all who will simply repent of their sins and place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
