“Tears are a language God understand”. I bless you Lauren and family as you mourn your great loss but celebrate David’s victory!
Our condolences to you Laurena and family on the passing of David. I was blessed from all my interactions with him, be it conversations about theology and the related implications, or his passion for writing serious devotional reflections. His interest in learning and education was always central, not only for himself but for others. Even in conversation with him about a month ago, he expressed keen interest in the progress of the new Horizon College and Seminary building.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.

He was one of my Bible school teachers. Was all of the above; tough at times, but had a balanced sense of humor, and tackled the tough topics with everything. He had us sing a song at the beginning of each class, which got us going as his classes were the first in the morning. Lots of great memories. Praying for the family
