Earl McLaurin, Jr.
Ron Lewis

If it's true the best business ideas are born out of personal experience, then the story of Praise Preview.com is no exception.

In 1996, Ron Lewis and his family moved to Charlotte from Los Angeles, California. Ron and his wife, Juanita, were very active in their church back home. After moving to Charlotte, they searched long and hard to find a church that met their spritual needs. Without a network of friends and family to make recommendations, their search proved frustrating. Ron reasoned that if he was having this much trouble, other newcomers would as well. In January 2005, Ron joined forces with ministry support specialist Earl McLaurin, Jr. to form Praise Preview, LLC. Earl could identify with Ron's frustrations. In the late 80’s, Earl's mom, Personnel Director for Cumberland County Schools, would be required to travel on Saturdays to capitalize on the low airfare to keep expenses down for her district. She consistently found herself utilizing the phone book and road maps once she arrived in the designated city to locate a possible place of worship similar to her home church. In all cases, it was very difficult to find a church to her liking because there was limited information available for her to make an informed decision. In addition, the information found in the hotel’s church directory listing was not helpful. Based on his mom’s experiences, Earl understands that the process could have been very frustrating for Ron and Juanita even in 2000.

In May 2005, the partners launched Praise Preview.com. The response has been phenomenal. Web-savvy church seekers now have a website where they can enter search criteria to "preview" churches that reflect their spiritual needs and wants. Churches of all sizes and affiliations can now be part of a global database of churches promoting the gospel of Jesus Christ to millions all over the world.

Today, Praise Preview.com has its sight set on becoming the premier online directory for connecting individuals and families with places of worship. And if the present is any indication of the future, the partners are well on their way to realizing their dream.
