- David Blevins, Pastoral Assistant -
It's a long story! Here's the short version. I became a Christian when I was seven years old but never really understood that commitment until I was eighteen. For the next eighteen years, journalism was my day job, youth and music ministries were my passion. In 2002, God led me to Kenya to teach me the meaning of "surrender". Africa had such an impact on my life, I've been back eight times in five years! There, I realised it was time for me to play my part instead of endlessly reporting a world that desperately needs people to play their part. I'm now a full time student of the Irish Bible Institute in Dublin and practising ministry in Richhill. Co-ordinating Cafe Church, managing the Tom Team, working with the Pastoral Care Team and liaising between the larger ministry groups (worship, mission, pastoral care and youth) are my main responsibilities. I'm married to Ruth and we have three children: Sarah (04.02.98), James (08.09.99) and Joshua (10.08.04).
