Craig Scoville shared his life story, recounting a difficult childhood marked by his father’s alcoholism, early substance abuse, and eventual deep addiction through his twenties.
After a decisive spiritual encounter where he repented and found peace, Craig was delivered from addiction and began discipleship in small Texas churches, which led to marriage and a calling to missions. He and his wife served over seven years in East Asia with Kids Across Cultures, focusing on education, medical care, clean water, and community transformation through local churches.
Craig described practical insights for helping addicts, emphasizing godly sorrow, confronting enabling behaviors, and long-term discipleship and highlighted the Father’s restorative love and purpose for each life. He encouraged others to pursue God’s purpose, get involved with mission work like Kids Across Cultures, and support initiatives that provide education, clean water, and medical care for impoverished children.
