Greg McDougal

Bio:

Greg and his wife, Diane, moved to Nashville over 15 years ago to pursue a career in the Country Music Business. Just as Greg began having some real success, with a song recorded by John Michael Montgomery, and a record deal in sight with Henry Paul of Black Hawk as his producer, the McDougal’s gave birth to their first baby boy, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey was born with a hole in his intestinal tract and later diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. This was a situation that caused Greg and Diane to pay a lot closer attention to God in their lives than ever before. Suddenly the music business and being on the road didn’t make sense for Greg and his new family, so he went to work as a home repair carpenter as a means to provide for his household. Seven years later and with three of their four children diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, life was beautiful, if sometimes complicated, for the McDougal family. But when Jeffrey wound up with three occasions of pneumonia in a year’s time, the doctors had even more serious things to say about his condition.

Instantly, Greg and Diane knew that they needed to put these special children into a clean air, allergen-free house: a specially-built house that will help to eliminate the extra dynamics that only worsen an already serious condition. A simple, heartfelt cry to God for help led Greg to return to his songwriter’s bag and record a few of his songs onto a CD called ‘The Work of a Carpenter’. The purpose is to sell as many of these CDs as possible on their web site www.ahouseformykids.com to raise the necessary funds to build this special house.

There is too much to tell here about how God has changed the McDougal’s lives with this endeavor. There is also not enough room to tell of the countless people whom God has also touched through the songs, the story and this family. Greg says, ’I have nothing that I can boast about with all of this…it has been a God thing from the beginning!’ When you hear Greg sing now, it is with faith, passion and purpose. Please be sure to go to their website and order a copy of ‘The Work of a Carpenter’. You will be blessed!

There is now a new CD for the same special purpose…this time a few very special friends have joined in to help Greg accomplish his goal of building this house for his kids ‘Try A Little Kindness’ is a collection of Greg singing with the likes of The Oak Ridge Boys, Tammy Cochran, The Bellamy Brothers, Randy Kohrs, Mike Hammock, Tommy Brandt, Mary James, James Payne, Mike Rimmey, Branded, Melanie Walker and many more incredible friends.

P.S. Greg is now in full time music ministry…going out and telling of God’s Grace and Mercy in their lives through it all…the momentum of this heartwarming and miraculous project is now aimed at launching a non-profit organization to help other special needs families with their day to day circumstances. ...... ..
