Growing up on a 186-acre dairy and potato farm in Ashland, Ohio, Doug Wyler learned practical lessons for life. Through the ministry of his future father-in-law’s (Dr. Ron Merrill) church, God changed his life and molded him for future ministry. In 1984, he graduated from Bob Jones University and married Ronda (Merrill), a 1982 graduate of Pensacola Christian College.
Early on, God gave them tremendous opportunities to serve in the local church, especially in music and children’s ministries. In 1992, the Lord called them into full-time evangelism with Ronda’s brother’s family (Randy and Tricia Merrill).
After traveling with the Musical Merrills for thirteen years, God led the Wylers to begin their own family ministry, and Doug was ordained in 2004. In 2009, they became members of Ripley Baptist Temple in Ripley, WV.
God gave Doug and Ronda five children (Jethniel, Jerrill, Joel, Javonda, and Jaron) whom they homeschooled and raised to actively serve the Lord together in ministry across the United States.
