Ted and Gayle Haggard
Ted Haggard was a leading American evangelical preacher when he became entangled in a sex scandal in 2006. Haggard graduated from Oral Roberts University in 1978, and in 1985 he and his wife Gayle founded the New Life Church in their basement in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The church flourished; by 2006 the New Life Church had 14,000 members, Haggard had become president of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE). He resigned as president of the National Association of Evangelicals and was removed as pastor of New Life Church. For almost three years, Ted and his wife, Gayle have been on the journey back to restoration.
