Hi! We are George and Pam Dewey, your hosts at The Oasis.

If you've been exploring our home, you may want to know a little about us.

Pam is the author of the material on The Oasis website. She has a B.A. in education magna cum laude from Michigan State University, did graduate work in education and sociology at MSU, and has been a serious Bible student since 1965.

George is the tech expert who keeps all our computers and software running and connected to the Internet so that Pam can keep The Oasis and several other Internet projects going. He has a B.A. in Communication Arts from Michigan State University, and did graduate work in education and public speaking at MSU. We have been married for forty years, and have one daughter, Ramona (Mrs. Scott) Leiter, and two grandchildren, Jonathan (13) and Katie (11).

George's day job is as an insurance premium auditor, but his evenings and nights are usually spent searching the Internet for the latest free software, checking E-Bay for the best computer hardware bargains, and building, fixing, upgrading, and tinkering with computers for family and friends. His latest projects have involved adding audio-visual equipment and software to his repertoire to help Pam in creating audio-visual materials of  Bible Study and Inspirational topics.

Pam has done writing, editing, research, and speaking for a number of independent Christian ministries for the past 15 years. She has also presented lectures and seminars on a wide variety of Biblical, inspirational, and Christian living subjects to church groups throughout the country. In addition, she has done extensive research on the history of religious movements of the past two hundred years. Much of this research can be seen on:

Field Guide Book Information

We were members of the Worldwide Church of God (WCG) from 1968 through 1978. As a result of organizational turmoil and "church politics" on a national scale in that group in 1978, we found ourselves expelled from membership. We then were members of the Church of God, International (CGI), an off-shoot of the WCG, from 1978 to 1988. George was a minister for the CGI from 1980 to 1988, pastoring a church congregation in Michigan. As a result of later turmoil in that organization, and growth in our Biblical understanding, we chose to voluntarily withdraw our association with that group in March 1988. You can read more about the background of the WCG in the Field Guide Website's profile on the Worldwide Church of God.

Since 1988 we have not been affiliated with any particular denomination, but regularly seek out fellowship with other Christians of like mind.
