Biography
David graduated from high school at 15 years of age from Faith Christian Academy in West Plains, Mo. That fall, he went to South Africa to help with Shayundima School of Tomorrow and assisted in introducing curriculum to the school staff. He attended the International Institute of ACE in Lewisville, TX. He went on to receive his Bachelor’s of Art in Education degree through distance education from Louisiana Baptist University. He had the honor of working for Southwestern in the IT department and later as IT Director for many years. He always felt very blessed to work with such a wonderful team of individuals.
David’s priorities in life were Faith, Family and Friends. He was a loving soul who gave his life to serving God and others. He had suffered many losses in life and understood pain and hardship and turned that around to help those in need. He had a witty personality that could make others laugh. He loved people and celebrated various cultures coming together. He helped alongside a couple of college friends to plant a multi-cultural church called Harmony Church. He later had the privilege of pastoring the same church, whose name had been changed to Harmony Tabernacle. His desire when becoming pastor was to see the glory of God fall and change the lives of others daily. He married Joy Golter on June 16, 2006 in Waxahachie, TX. He loved her with all his soul and made her life beautiful in every way. He loved and deeply cared for his family and always enjoyed making them happy. He held his friends close to his heart and was blessed by those that loved him.
David was asked by his Royal Ranger leader how he should leave a campsite, he responded the only way he had been taught–“A little better than you found it.” That was his motto in life and he carried it through in everything he did.
