David McGaughey

David accepted Jesus into his heart in 2010. Since then, he’s seen God’s hand in all aspects of his life, but noticed that his faith grew strongest once he made the decisions to share his faith in boldness and lead others. Since childhood, David had hopes of beaing a missionary or pastor, thinking about traveling the world to share the gospel. However, he would soon find that first, God needs to use us in our hometown, which for David, is The Dalles, Oregon. Leadership training came through joining Child Evangelism Fellowship® in 2019, which the Holy Spirit used to ignite a passion in his life for youth discipleship. Now, alongside working full time in the trades, David seeks to engage in loving leadership with his siblings, friends, and innumerable others God brings along the way. Additional doors have opened for the pursuit of discipleship after joining Esperanza y Vida, a church in Hood River, where David and his family worship to this day.
