Check out David's video message to St. Michael's:
Our keynote speaker is David Thompson, Senior Director, International for Operation Christmas Child of Samaritan’s Purse. David began serving with Samaritan’s Purse and the Operation Christmas Child project in 2005.
He started as the Regional Director for Eurasia and now serves as the Senior Director, International for Operation Christmas Child. David and team are responsible for the fulfilment of the global mission of OCC of Evangelism, Discipleship, and Multiplication (11 million children impacted through shoe box gifts with Gospel outreach and 5 million children discipled annually!).
Previously, David served with Moscow Bible Church in Moscow, Russia; he also grew up in Russia during the 90’s, speaking the language.
David has a huge heart to love, serve and to share Jesus with the lost wherever they are, especially with the children! He earned a B.A. from Wheaton College, and a M.A. from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
His wife Beth also serves at Samaritan’s Purse as a nurse in the Cleft Palate Project, bringing joy to many children globally. They have a 10 year old son, Malachi, a 7 year old daughter, Savannah, and a 4 year old son, Soren.
