Here are some articles that Dave has recently written....I work with Phill Butler and a small set of others as global partnership specialists based in Edmonds, WA at www.visionsynergy.net. My focus includes, first, advising international Muslim-outreach related networks (to my joy) such as the Arabian Peninsula Network, the Southend Partnership, and the Libya Partnership; and secondly, advising networks promoting collaboration among those doing international evangelism online, such as the Muslim Internet Evangelism Network, the Turkey Internet Evangelism Network, the Internet Evangelism Coalition for Africa, Internet Evangelism Day, and more.I spent childhood years in Saudi Arabia where my father was pastor to expats, which embedded my love for Muslims and Arabs. I served as a Presbyterian missionary (Volunteer in Mission), teaching English and Economics at a Presbyterian university in Korea from 1979-1981. (My uncle and aunt are Dr. Samuel and Eileen Moffett, career missionaries in Korea and professor emeritus at Princeton Seminary. They influenced me greatly.) My seminary work was at Fuller Seminary and Oxford University. I was ordained a PCUSA pastor in 1985 and had pastoral calls as mission pastor for eight years in two large churches in Tulsa OK and Bellevue WA, and then shifted for 12 years with Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship, coordinating Presbyterian mission work among UPGs, serving as executive director there. In 2003 I was on the founding board of visionSynergy with Phill Butler and in 2005 shifted over from PFF to visionSynergy to become a staff member. visionSynergy advises networks and equips the global Church in mission partnership. My wife Sandy is also a Presbyterian pastor and we live in Bothell, WA with our youngest daughter (of three) still at home.
