About Douglas
Over the years, my efforts included Bible study and meditations for gaining a better understanding of Biblical things. Contemporary issues in the church and in the nation are seldom resolved for good purposes without using Biblical perspectives. To augment my ability in a biblical understanding, I study Biblical Greek, as merely a seasoned novice, and I am beginning to learn ancient Hebrew.
My wife and I have ten children. She is the wife of my youth. Two sons are married, and we have two grand-children. 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. Some think we are ‘Amish’. We practice alternative home-health care and health maintenance. God is our Rock, and in Him we trust.
Update, March 2015
Douglas congregates with the several Elders of Record who elected Brother Justice as their Minister of Record. Justice is assigned to His Church at Holy Sacrament - HCHS.
Currently, Douglas carries responsibilities as Minister of Record of His Church at New River (HCNR), and he is trustee of Friends of His Church Missions (FHCM).
His Church at New River serves two Elders of Record.
Skills: Providing help with projects such as ones which are listed below.
- repair or rebuild any aspect of a residence or out-building.
- landscape maintenance.
- barn and farm-fence repairs.
- limited experience with appliance repair.
I can sometimes assist you from my home office (handyman counsel over the phone, or maybe some creative helps or tips sent by mail or email), and other office projects include:
- technical writing.
- editing for correct grammar and sentence clarity.
- create or modify graphic images using computer.
- amateur skills as a website editor/creator.
- simple publishing using Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 -- pamphlets, cards, print-ready books or booklets.
The ministry is for purposes of giving aid to the ones who are under duress. God’s divine love is the only way of bringing comfort to the lonely, destitute, imprisoned, sick, lame and blind. May God grant His grace that I might become a better vessel of His love.
