Imagine living in a fast-moving kaleidoscope, where sounds, images and thoughts are constantly shifting. You feel easily bored, yet helpless to keep your mind on the task you need to complete. Your mind drives you from one thought or activity to the next. You're unable to sit still, plan ahead, finish the task or be fully aware of what's going on around you to where you don't notice when someone is speaking to you.This has been what David Michael Carrillo faces while living with
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or ADHD.
In his ministry he calls "
Fearfully & Wonderfully Made
":(Living with ADHD through stories and songs), David Michael openly shares his heart about the painful years of childhood and early adult life as he had to deal with, learning disabilities, ADHD, & rejections by peers that lead to the deep rooted fear that kept him "trapped in a cage" of low self worth. But he also shares about the Lord's faithfulness and the Gospel message that released him to "Fly Away".
Combining humor, music, his own personal experience, and the Gospel message,
David Michael shares about the challenges he had and still has in dealing with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other learning disabilities. Through his stories and songs, the listener gets a chance to see what it's like to be in the shoes & mind of a person dealing with A.D.H.D.
Musically, David Michael interweaves the beloved Hymns,Worship songs and his own Bible based composition using a variety of musical styles that has allowed David Michael to be a welcomed guest in many denominational churches with worship service styles ranging from very traditional to contemporary.

I wanted to say thank you for the great performance you gave for our students. Being a school of 300 students in grades 1-12 for learning disabilities,you were a perfect fit! I was so happy to see each student participating,singing,and smiling. When you finished your story and had prayer I heard sniffles from the teachers.
May the Lord continue to bless you in his service,for you were a true blessing to us today.
