I was one of the lucky people at Messiah Lutheran this morning that got to hear you for the first time. I really felt the Spirt moving in the Sanctuary this morning. It is really easy to get caught in music for me when it is natural!As I read your information on your web site I was surprised to read that you in fact do not read music! It is very obvious that the Lord has touched you and is guiding you.
"It's A Colorful Life", literally changed the hearts of children, youth, and adults at Forest Hill United Methodist Church in Concord, North Carolina. God not only brought him to do ministry in our church family, but allowed him to share his message with other churches in this area.
His music is anointed. You experience the true love of Jesus Christ, healing through melody and word, and a true sense of God's deep affection for each of us.

His message about being "fearfully and wonderfully made" truly touched the hearts of young and old alike. David Michael has a God-given ability to relate to people of all ages..... his message of God's unfailing love for each individual is a timeless message that people are hungry to hear.
His honesty about his own life's struggles authenticates his testimony about God's love. Our own daughter, who struggles greatly with ADD and learning disabilities, was deeply touched by David Michael's powerful testimony. She was almost like a young flower drinking in the rain of grace that David Michael preached. Her response to me was, "He knows how I think." And to hear a young man share even the painful places of his heart, and come through to the other side with the grounded faith that God had ALWAYS had a plan for his life, even before he was born, was so reassuring for our Anna. She was able to mirror her own struggles with self-image, school, and intense anxiety with David Michael's. And here she saw a young man who boldly stood up to proclaim that God had a great plan in creating him just as God did...... even with his "disabilities." What a powerful testimony for those who are walking similar paths. AND.........what a powerful testimony for those who may not be walking that very SAME path, but who need help in understanding people who struggle with ADD issues. I dare say that there are very few families who do not have someone related somewhere who struggles daily with simply living life. David Michael's testimony through words and song and preaching and relating to the youth and older folks will be heard over and over in the hearts of all who were privileged to hear him in person. How very grateful I am that I was one of those people.
