Douglas Scofield

In my younger years, I would ask within myself: Why does it seem as though revival is so slow in coming? There I was, for years and years, faithfully attending Sunday meetings in church buildings or with home church groups. I had to wonder: Do we have an accurate picture of what revival should be?

I had spent many hours studying for a broad and complete understanding of the Bible's content and its message. A few common threads began to become ever clearer in my mind. The message of love and devotion to God was underlined with the idea of drawing closer to God, by learning more and more about what was established in creation by the hand of the Creator. And real love for God means putting into practice in my life what I discover about the Creator. For instance, the Creator is able to come to each individual at their level, without using any approach of looking down on them, and that same approach is what is my duty to each of my neighbors and to strangers whom I meet.

About Douglas

Raised in a "christian home", I became acquainted with many denominations, but I preferred those which were not tightly controlled by a headquarters. My "christian walk" was fairly strict, even though my parents nor most of my siblings were so strict. It was my journey bordering on legalism, which began at around age 9 and continued well into my 40s. In college, I was curious, and so I attended a whole myriad of church denominations, just to get a broader view. During college, I met a young woman who was as strict as I, and for some reason, I married her. I guess it made sense to me, at the time. Marriage to Diane happened in 1983, right after I earned a college degree in forestry.

We brought into the world ten children, we raised them together and now they are all grown (on their own). Six of them are married, and I have thirteen grandchildren, so far. Most of them are fairly strict.
But by the time we began homeschooling our youngest three children, I felt compelled to back off from being so strict. My second eldest son lit out of our home at age 18 around that time, and he began a not-so-strict life journey. I now applaud his courage, but at the time, he was "rocking the boat". My wife despised it, but I accepted it.

I guess in time that was part of what killed our marriage, so now my wife and I live separately.

Most of my employment comes from self-employment as a handyman. Together by home schooling, gardening, raising goats, and a myriad of other ‘homesteading’ activities, our family lives by rural American standards, ‘out in the sticks’ of southern Oregon. We practice alternative home-health care and health maintenance.

In ministry, the Father often leads me to converse with those who have few they can trust. His desire is that His people should offer divine love to the lonely, destitute, imprisoned, sick, lame and blind. I pray for His grace that I might become a better vessel of His love, as I work and minister.
