Through conferences such as New Wine, Summer Madness, Soul Survivor, Worship Together and Spring Harvest many have been impacted by David’s songs and worship leading.

 

David’s first full album ‘Unapproachable Light’ is an exciting collection of modern worship songs. Featuring popular songs such as “All the kings will bow”, “Led to the Lost” and “Shout of the Nations” it also showcases future classics “Extravagant, Magnificent” and “Hands on the Cross”. Produced by Paul Burton and Tom Mills and mixed by Chris Blair at Abbey Road, London, the album has a fresh, innovative feel.

 

“For me it is all about the local community” says David, “building the Kingdom of God in whatever place you find yourself; church, work or at football. Everything has to come back to that. Albums and conferences can be amazing resources and experiences but it has to lead to fruit in the Kingdom in the local community”.

 

David hails from Harrow, London, where he was emerged through Soul Survivor Harrow. He spent a year studying theology before moving to Soul Survivor Watford in 2001. In October 2002 he married Emilie and in Summer 2003 they moved to Northern Ireland where they belong to Willowfield Parish Church, Belfast.
