Autorenporträt
Thirty-eight years as a pastor honed David's passion for helping people connect with God and make a difference. Add a varied church background, a first career in engineering, and graduate degrees from three seminaries (mainstream, Wesleyan-evangelical, and charismatic), and you can see why he expresses God's truth in ways everyone can appreciate. Raised in the Episcopal church, David has also been part of Nazarene, Pentecostal Holiness, and non-denominational congregations. As a United Methodist pastor he has served small, large, and multi-cultural churches in rural, small town, suburban and urban settings. He served as a regional church consultant in the Maryland - D.C. area, and led workshops for pastors in Turkey. In 2019 David founded Doing Christianity, Inc., a non-profit organization dedicated to equipping pastors in developing and minority-Christian countries. Thousands of copies of his pastoral training book, Pastoring: The Nuts and Bolts, have been printed and distributed free of charge in English, Swahili, Urdu, Chichewa, and French. David married his college sweetheart, Paula, in 1974. Their five children are actively serving God in the US and around the world. Dr. Wentz earned a B.S. in Systems Engineering from the University of Virginia; two Masters of Divinity, from Melodyland School of Theology and Wesley Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry from Asbury Theological Seminary. He enjoys the outdoors, reading, and playing music. His heroes are John Wesley, Abraham Lincoln, and Martin Luther King, Jr. (And for you old baseball fans, Brooks Robinson.)The book of Ezekiel describes David's calling. Twenty-five hundred years ago God called Ezekiel to teach God's ways. He instructed him to proclaim the Holy Spirit - the one who revives dry bones and forms them into a dwelling for God and a source of living water that heals nations.Bones are still dry.God still wants to dwell among his people.Nations still need healing.And people still need to be taught God's ways and be moved by God's Spirit.That's why we still need to be "Doing Christianity."
