I went to TSC in 1996. I was in college and had been a Christian most of my life. I was raised by a single mom who loved the Lord and raised us to know Him and fear Him. Although, I was saved and loved Jesus, as much as I thought was good, I did not really know intimacy with Him. I remember listening to Pastor David preach on personal devotion and how to have one. That is when I began to know that Jesus wants me for Himself; that He is jealous for my affection and He wants me to call on Him as my friend. That message has kept me all these years. I remember him saying to read Psalms according to each date. I found it so fascinating and helpful that I still do it. I am so grateful for the life he lived and for the personal interest; he took in getting to know our family and me.
It was hard receiving the news of Pastor David's accident here in Zambia but I thank God that there are no limits to His grace. The news came to us in the middle of the night while in the hospital waiting for Warren's surgery the next day. What a difficult night! Warren and I thought we were not going to be able to watch the service because our internet access is shaky and so is our computer! However, God knew and although a bit faulty, we were able to watch most of the memorial service! Our family is so grateful to God for Pastor Dave's obedience that has provoked our lives to count it all loss for the excellency of knowing and serving and obeying Jesus! We will always love and miss you Brother Dave. Thank you for your example of a life well lived!
