Born in Jamaica into a politically prominent family, Dave graduated from high school as valedictorian, and was educated as a lawyer in England. He married his high school sweetheart, Pauline, after his freshman year of university. After returning to Jamaica he became a partner of the oldest law-firm in Jamaica when he was only 28 years old. God used the emptiness of success at an early age to prepare both Dave and Pauline for the gospel. As Dave used his legal training to examine the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the fulfillment of ancient Hebrew prophecy, he was convinced of the inerrancy of Scripture and the deity of Christ at the same time. Both he and Pauline accepted the Lord in 1972 together with their young children. This was very unusual because very few professionals, executives or leaders in Jamaica know Christ personally, and there still are few Bible-believing churches geared towards ministering to professionals and leaders.

Dave was given the gift of personal evangelism and within 18 months of their conversion, with the help of three other young businessmen, more than 200 new converts from the professional and business sector of Kingston were involved in over 20 home and office Bible studies. They formed a group of twelve men called Doulos Associates, and began to bring overseas speakers into Jamaica for outreach events including an outreach dinner at their home attended by over 500 people. Doulos (which means "bond-servant" in Greek) also ran a tape and book lending library to give support to this incredible movement of the Holy Spirit. World Team Missions discipled us and give us leadership training. By 1976, Dave felt he needed more theological training and moved the whole family to Europe where he studied under Dr. Francis Schaeffer and Dr. J. I.. Packer. It was at this time that Dave and Pauline received their call to full-time ministry.

We followed the vision that God had given us and moved to the USA in 1979 to follow the steps of the Apostle Paul by starting a church which was multiracial and international like the Church at Antioch (Acts 11) and which would spawn evangelism and missions around the world. Accordingly after the International Community Church joined with Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Miami, to become one of the first truly multi-racial churches in the PCA in Miami, we moved on to do the work of evangelism and missions. We have been with Campus Crusade for Christ International since 1988 ministering primarily to young professionals and business men and women in Miami, other parts of the USA, the Caribbean, Europe and worldwide.
