LONDON — “We lit the flame and lit up the world.”
Doug Shaw had to smile a little when London 2012 chairman Lord Coe closed the Olympics with those words Aug. 12.

Doug Shaw and with his wife, Marcy, have served as missionaries in Poland and London, and now he is Olympics volunteer coordinator for Southern Baptists.
Doug Shaw, Olympics volunteer coordinator for Southern Baptists' International Mission Board, has been in motion for months in London preparing Baptists to meet the tens of thousands of sports fans going to the United Kingdom this summer.
