Life Changing & Life Challenging

I can only imagine how great Dave's rejoicing is to be with the Lord he has loved and served so long! As a brand new Christian 30 years ago I ate up the Word of God and every other book that Christianity had. I soon found many discrepancies between the Word and the writers of these Christian books. Fortunately I was lead to Dave's ministry. This was before the Berean Call was established and there were few teachers of discernment. The Christian bookstores were in their infancy along with Christian publishing. It was because of Dave's ministry I avoided the pitfalls of the Health & Wealth salesmen. In 1989 I had the privilege of picking up Dave at the airport for a weekend ministry event we were hosting and having dinner with him and some friends that night. What a great impact he had in my life as I observed a humble servant arrive wearing his "Columbo" overcoat, eat a modest meal, stay in a very modest hotel, and accept a modest offering for his time. He spoke the Truth in Love and was simultaneously bold and humble. He and his ministry have been both life changing and life challenging for me. When I saw him last a few years ago he blessed one of my dearest friends by baptizing him in the pool at Word of Life NY. He was still the same gracious lover of the Lord and proclaimer of the Word he had always been. I believe Dave showed many of us how to run the race, how to finish the course, how to be confident that He will complete what He has begun in us until the day of Jesus Christ. And for our brother Dave, today is that day!! Amen. Art
