Good Samaritan Ministries was founded by Dr. Michael D. McClary and his wife, Janet, in the summer of 1987. Armed only with his King James Bible and the call of God on His life, Dr. McClary began a journey of service to His Lord.
Dr. McClary, himself a product of the destruction and devastation that the abuse of drugs and alcohol will bring, accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior in 1982, at the Union Mission in Norfolk, Virginia. Since then, he has never looked back. While serving on staff as both a chaplain and evening supervisor at the mission, Dr. McClary took correspondence courses in Biblical Theology, and was eventually ordained to preach in 1985. After a brief time of preparation as the chaplain of the Peninsula Rescue Mission in Newport News, Virginia, Dr. McClary was led to Richmond, Virginia to start an inner city outreach to those in need of a “touch from the Masters’ hand.”
Today, the Good Samaritan Ministry remains a multifaceted beacon of light to those wishing to both serve, and be served on behalf of our Lord Jesus Christ.
