At the age of seventeen, Dr. Gene Lingerfelt answered God's call to go into full-time ministry. Pastors Gene and Sue Lingerfelt were married in 1976, and each went on to earn degrees from Texas Christian University. Dr. Lingerfelt later earned his doctorate from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Their ministry journey has since taken them around the world into over 30 nations during the course of over 30 years in ministry, as they have shared the good news of the Gospel with hurting people, both at home and abroad. 

In 1994, Dr. Gene and Sue Lingerfelt responded to the call of God and pioneered Overcoming Faith Television. The first broadcast was aired on August 7, 1994 on Dr. Gene and Sue Lingerfelt's 18th wedding anniversary. Today, Overcoming Faith Television can be seen both nationwide and worldwide. The purpose and intent of Overcoming Faith Television is not only to teach believers how to apply God's Word to every area of their lives, but to also reach a lost and hurting world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
