Darrow Miller
 For nearly 25 years Darrow Miller has served as a speaker at conferences and seminars on topics that focus on the relationship between worldview and development, and worldview and poverty.
Darrow’s heart beats around two critical themes: poverty and worldview. As a nineteen-year-old college student on a work team to Mexico, his heart broke for the world’s poor and hungry. He decided, “Because God exists, objective truth exists. This means God wants to speak into every area of life.” As a result, Darrow’s calling resides where worldview intersects with the world of hunger and poverty.
For the next decade Darrow’s ministry roles expanded his worldview and heart for the poor. After college, he worked for a year before entering seminary. Darrow and his wife Marilyn studied at the Institute for Holy Land Studies for a semester and then traveled extensively in the Mediterranean and in Europe. They ended their journeys in Switzerland where Darrow worked and studied for three years with Francis Schaeffer at L’Abri Fellowship in Huemoz, Sur/ Ollon, Switzerland. Later he served as a student pastor at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona and then as pastor of Sherman Street Fellowship in Denver, Colorado, where he helped minister to students and the urban poor.
Joining Food for the Hungry in 1981, Darrow helped to found and lead the International Hunger Corp. In this role he recruited and trained volunteers to serve with Food for the Hungry among the poor worldwide. As Vice President of Food for the Hungry, International, he has trained staff and has also served as a pastor-at-large, visiting Food for the Hungry field sites to encourage staff and country directors. Darrow’s lectures emerge from living, traveling, and working in more than 70 countries.
Since 1997 Darrow Miller and Dr. Bob Moffitt of the Harvest Foundation have initiated and encouraged a worldwide movement called the Disciple Nations Alliance. Since its inception this movement has conducted hundreds of Vision Conferences and numerous “trainer of trainers” workshops in over 50 countries. The DNA has a twofold purpose. The first is to envision churches with a distinctively biblical worldview, helping them to realize their strategic role in advancing the Kingdom of God in all nations and in all spheres of society. The second is to equip churches with practical skills and resources, enabling them to live out a lifestyle of love and a wholistic ministry that brings hope and healing to broken people and nations. As part of DNA, Darrow frequently travels internationally, facilitating conferences for pastors, church and denominational leader, students, missionaries, and relief and development workers.
Darrow earned a master’s degree in higher and adult education from Arizona State University and has pursued graduate studies in philosophy, theology, Christian apologetics, biblical studies, and missions in the United States, Israel, and Switzerland.
He and his wife, Marilyn, have four children and seven grandchildren. The Millers recently moved to Happy Jack, Arizona, in the middle of the Coconino National Forest, from where Darrow writes and travels.
