Meet Pastor Dave
So glad to be here!
In all sincerity, it is a privilege to be at Bethany Church where I am challenged to be the best leader I can be. The opportunity capitalizes on my 20+ years of missions work as well as work in senior leadership of a major missions organization as VP of IT.
During that time, I wrote several books which you can find below. I'm in the midst of writing another book as part of my studies for my Doctorate in Religious Studies in Christian Apologetics and Culture, but don't worry, I plan to make it readable, not just academic!
I'm glad you've stopped by and I hope you choose to join us for Sunday services at Bethany Church.
Reaching Muslims for Christ (2024)
Today's Christian is typically uninformed about the way Muslims think and may underestimate their receptivity to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Reaching Muslims for Christ is a treasury of facts, insights, analysis, and examples gleaned from men and women who are engaged in Muslim ministry across the globe. Originally published by William Saal, this updated version includes new chapters on Muslim fundamentalism, ministry to Muslims in the West, and inroads to evangelism with practical strategies for reaching the lost.
The Integral Life: Complete Passion and Purpose for God (2022)
Your work matters. It matters because it has intrinsic value in and of itself. It matters because the integration of faith and work presents a powerful witness of transformation in your life. Through that integration, we take part in God’s mission for his people so that we can influence unreached people for the Gospel.
That’s the message offered in Work of Influence, a biblical commentary like no other—a commentary for professionals. The twenty-five principles he identifies guide the reader into an engaging integration of work, faith, and witness for finishing the Great Commission--whether that work is at home in the family business of generations or in borders beyond.
Whatever your work, this book will guide you to view your contribution as a work of influence and make an impact for eternity.
