David gave his life to Jesus when he was 8 years old in Cape Town, South Africa. As a teenager he became a youth leader and was also very involved in music – playing the piano. He was in a band that played in coffee bars. A YFC worker heard him play and said he should try out for the auditions to choose a music team for Mozambique and the Indian Ocean Islands. He tried out and was chosen in 1974. He says that mission trip was God-ordained. “It changed my life.” In 1979 he became an intern in YFC in Cape Town. Later he became a club-coordinator, a ministry director, and eventually the Cape Town Center Director. Through a Capabilities Profile he discovered that he was gifted as a pioneer. After 10 years in Cape Town, he moved to George and pioneered YFC on the Cape area where God did amazing things.
