I stumbled upon your website while doing some pro-life work that I remain heavily involved in in our little rural town of Powhatan, Virginia. I absolutely love your message and am looking forward to the long drive into town, to get to the Christian bookstore to purchase your CD’s! Just reviewing some of the lyrics, what beautiful messages of hope and love they display! Continue to be a Soldier for Christ, Our Savior!
In HIS NAME and mine!

To whom it may concern
When I Visit your web I’ve seen the minor and I was very suprised becouse you had written that the minor is in Krasnystaw, Poland. It is suprised me very much becouse I live in krasnystaw and I’m sure that in my beautiful little town is not any salt minor..any minor at all. We have beautifoul St. Franciszek church but that’s everything. I would be gratefull if you change this little mistake.
Yours faithfully

Hey Dave
) It’s Beth here, the “National Life Guard” lol. Hadn’t been on your site in a while, had to check out the part on your radio show, looks like you’re going strong… praise God! Lots of cool things are happening on this front, the CRY 2 was awesome and MY Canada is ramping up for a “Seige” in October to meet with MP’s and Senators to take a stand as young people for traditional morality. Also, MY Canada now has a 24/7 Prayer SIEGE 4 LIFE, which you will defintely want to check out. Their goal is to be petitioning God around the clock until abortion is no more. Go to http://www.4mycanada.ca and click on “Do Something” for info on the Siege and 24/7 Prayer for Life. I’ve got photos from the Cry 2 and lots of other cool stuff on my website, “His Dominion,” as well (www.spaces.live.com/mapleleafforever). Hey, wishin you all God’s blessings, man, and I hope we can connect up in person real soon.
In Him,
Beth

Wow! I got to this web site by “google imaging” a picture of an 11 week old fetus. I am 10 weeks pregnant and I wanted to see what my baby would look like next week. The image of the 11 week aborted fetus appeared and I was horrified! As an expectant mother, my love for this life inside of me has grown even deeper. This is my third child, and abortion is something that I’ve never dealth with personally, but my mother told me of two situations in my family where abortion had a deadly affect on the fathers. My paternal uncle and his wife had an “unplanned pregnancy” in their marriage. They decided to end their baby’s life. They divorced within 5 years and he committed suicide within 3 years. My maternal uncle had a girlfriend who became pregnant and they chose to end that child’s life as well. After two failed marriages, he too ended his own life. David, your website confirmed the daddy’s emotional affects of abortion and helped me to realize how strongly I feel against abortion. If my cousins had been given the chance to live, their dad’s would have had children to live for. They both had made professions of faith when they were younger, so I know the guilt they felt and their missing relationship with God was what caused them to take their lives. Thank you for your testimony and I pray that your boldness will touch people’s lives!!!

Hello David,
I have been exploring your website for the last three days and found it very useful and inspiring. I feel like a guest at a family gathering. Well, I am sure you are aware of the very special blessing you have received from Our Lord Jesus. I refer to the fact that your conversion was immediate, similar to Paul’s on the road to Damascus. Very blessed indeed. You see, most of us don’t receive that gift, most of us like myself are given a kernal of faith which is then watered and fertilized by the people and blessings that God places in our path. I have overcome drug addiction, and alcoholism and struggle daily with tempations in this sexually driven society. Somedays I make through the day without a stain on my armor but other days, I fall, stumble and crawl through the mud but somehow I manage to make it through that day’s battle. It amazes me how much Jesus loves me and how often he forgives me and others like me who struggle with their faith (or lack of faith). We depend on his Mercy at all times. You somehow make it look easy, just please don’t forget us…we the ones who have to really fight on a daily basis to keep from falling back and who actually fall back in sin but keep coming back looking for the Light. Keep us in your prayers and may God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.. the Holy Trinity Bless You and guide you forever.
Peace Homie, Keep up the good work!

I have to give you feedback on how your website has touched my heart.
The compelling photographs are a beautiful part of your ministry and surely the Holy Spirit is using you to reach others like me.
The beauty, magnificence, and power come right through and I feel part of the setting. You are giving glory to God and sharing so that we, too, may join you. What a beautiful blessing you have been to me today. I will share your website with my friends.
Peace be with you.

All of us who had the chance meeting you to sit and find your lost bag at Starbucks in Motomachi, Yokohama hope you did get your bag the next morning! We did share a good time and that little cross of time was meant to be for all who sat there. Many things must have amazed you in Japan, didn’t you like that pink phone the boy left on the talbe to save a seat while he was getting his coffee? Sometimes it will be stolen, but this is what Japan was like always… everyone just trusts each other.
Miracles happen when least expected.
We all will be looking forward about what you will write on your experience here.

Dear David,
I’ve just discovered your website through your beautiful church photographs and have read your testimony. My father was very devoted to Oratorie St-Joseph Du Mont-Royal, and perhaps someday I will email you a photo of the pouch of scapular and medals from there, that he carried with him through war, and of course peace. I look forward to listening to some of your music. The peace, love and guidance of God be with you always.
Yours in Christ,

Hey,
I’m wondering about the September 10 broadcast. It was supposed to have Elaine Zettel as a guest, but as it turns out it matches the description for the September 3 broadcast. I’m wondering where I can find the other. Thanks!

David,
We live in a society that does not support the family. Millions are without medical services…jobs..supportive community. Though personally I hate the whole idea of abortion…is it not worst to bring a child into a world where the mother will beconsigned to proverty and hopelessness? We are willing to support wars and build fences along the Mexican border, bomb countries back to the 4th century…. Our president, who I try to pray for, ( I am current praying that he will take early retirement.) has lead us into spending our resources on war goods..He is currently askig for another $300 plus billion .instead of repairing our roads, bridges, and other infrastructure. A Christian has no business being a part of the war industry… Department of Defense…what a piece of c __p. We undermine legitimate governments worldwide… When the Japanese offered to extend visas to the European Jewish community in the late thirties (They wanted them to form a colony in China), the American Jewish leadership refused the offer, assuming that Roosevelt would allow Jews to come to the USA…..Roosevelt betrayed that trust….12 months later the offered was no longer valid…6 million Jews vanished from the earth….
Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other need to say we will not support any more waste of our resources on war.. Enough is enough..let those who want war, pay for it out of their own pocket… We need designated tax giving….send out young people out to teach, work in agriculture, hospitals, do all kinds of public service throughout the world…not as worldclass killers or old men, women, and children….bombing other people cities…damn! Our leaders are totally insane…Maybe they have to live in Kabel, Afganistan for the remaining years of their lives…. Also those CEO’s who are stealing the productivity of the companies they manage, should all be made to work in the fastfood industry for ten years….
We as Americans have been blessed with incredible resources…and what do we do? Wall ourselves off in “gated” communites usually around a golf course that consumes huge quanities of precious water resourcers, then, we build a 5,000 square foot home. the super rich, a tiny group, control 60% of our wealth…live in terror of losing it..Which, of course, they will.
We find the money to build prisons…max and supermax…but little money for education, libraries, health clinics. Half the people in prison are there due to the crime of possess of some drug. What a waste of taxes and human life…
I read your testimony….thanks for sharing …God bless you as you strengthen the world around you.

I agree with much of what you say. I hate war too. But there is one thing perhaps to think about.
In the US alone 42,000,000 human beings have had there arms, legs and heads ripped of since 1973. Half of them were women. They were unborn.
The number of worldwide abortions in the last 20 years is more than the first, second world wars and evey other war since then added together.
I cannot reconcile being Christian and being ambivalent about abortion.
You say they shouldn\’t be allowed to live because they might live in poverty. If that is true then why don\’t we go into the ghettos with machine guns and kill all the poor people. Jesus said blessed are the poor. He didn\’t say kill the poor.

David, I thought you might like to know that Joni Mitchell has come out of hiding and has collaborated with the Alberta Ballet to create “Dancing Joni: the fiddle and the drum.” Opening in Calgary in April.
Also I thought you might want to add your experienced point of view on sacred music to this discussion:

Thank you for having your website – I came across it Googling looking for regulations/uses etc for holy water, and was very happy to find a practical explanation of the faith backed by history etc. and a powerful testimony. I’ve bookmarked your site, adn when I have time, will read even more of it.
Thank you, David. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Hey David,
It was great to read of your journey. I had bits and pieces of the story considering I’ve known you for my whole life, but the whole version is amazing.
Congratulations to you for believing as strongly as you do, and I am glad my family was there from the beginning, we always believed in you!

The big day is coming up this Thursday. The Cathedral is sending up a busload of folks with Fr McGovern. I wish I could go but am still too sick. You’re coming down to T.O. this June and I’m hoping to see you with Claire at that time. Meanwhile you will be in my prayers. Knock their socks off, David!

Salute, I first heard of Catholic bridge on BBC radio on 7/5/07 and I was amazed at how you defended God from critics.
God exists and that is why you are who you are. Keep up your good work and there is reward for that. I walk with my rosary and it helps me alot. It keeps the devil away.
Let us love those who hate us, atheists!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I go to St. Mary’s. I was at that healing retreat this weekend…all I wanted to say, is that after reading your testimonies…it rerally inspired me to live for God. That it’s never too late to go to Him for help and surrender ourselves to Him.

Just sort of came onto your pictures, when i searched for pictures of Guam on the internet. So, I checked out your website, since I was so intrigued by all of your various pictures world-wide. Thank you for taking the time to share yourself, your music, your pictures, etc…. with the world. It’s beautiful!

Hello,
Just came across your site.. no actually, your site came across me.
Just wanted to say Job well done. I can relate to a lot of the things you have delt with.
It’s amazing that you have used your experiences to do so much good.
Your an inspiration.
On Sept 7 2005 I cried out to Jesus, and he forgave me for all my sins.
God bless you and keep you right where you should be on your journey with Christ.

Hi… heard you speak at a conference in Toronto (U of T) and spoke to you briefly at one of the breakout sessions. You mentioned your music so I googled it. I read your testimony and the content of your site. Wow, it really hit home , i didnt expect to find what I did. I have never admitted this to anyone..but I had an abortion when I was young and stupid. (just had to get that out) I think I now use my addiction to cover up the pain. Thanks for sharing your story.
June 5th, 2007 at 8:44 pm

Hi, David i googled to one question and show me up your web site, and i was very surprise to see there in Europe, have people to defende our Church, it’s very encouraging. I have one dear friend (sister) who move to London, in mission to Blackburn. The mission caled Comunidade Católica Shalom (Catholic community Shalom)and she so afraid; but now she’s most calm, cause now she knows have many people to help her. One more thing, whem you comming to Brazil, we’re very excited with your visit. Thank you for defende us in one world every time most indifferent, individualist, relativism.

(you most forgive my english, it’s not so good, but i try to meke me understood)
In Jesus and Mary
The Lord show to you Our face and gives to you our peace.

Hello, I found your website while seaching for answers for my 25 year old son. His last year of college, he left the Catholic Church for “non-denomination” religion. I don’t mention church in conjunction with this way of life because they don’t think God intended for us to worship in a building. Thus, Paul cannot be the rock on which God’s church was build. It is figurative! Interestingly his mentors were very anti-Catholic. It is like a brain washing. My son is very intelligent but can’t seem to accept even the most obvious facts. Pray that he will come back to the church. The information on your website is very helpful and informative. I am a convert to the Catholic faith and still learning.
Thank you for your work.

Hi David,
I’m currently teaching in Busan, South Korea. Feeling hungry for news from home, I was browsing our mutual friend Dennis Girard’s surrender.ca site … eventually I followed the link to your site (you and I met at a DnA party) … it’s great to know how well you’re doing, David, and how much peace and love you’re spreading throughout the world with your music and songs! After surrendering everything, you got it all back in spades … your story exemplifies how the Lord works all things for the good of those who love Him. Perhaps you’ll sing in SK sometime … Korean Christians are renowned for their zeal in missionary work. Last week here in Busan’ Haeundae Beach, I enjoyed one evening with the 20,000 young Christians from all over the world who were participating in CM2007, a Campus Crusade for Christ’s first global student missions conference. Musicians and singers have a such a marvellous way of stimulating outpourings of amazing grace!
May God continue to bless you abundantly, David. Here’s to creating a world of …
Peace and Love … from your friend in Christ!

Dearest David,
Praise the Lord! This mail is from Gerry who was with the Sri Lankan team you met at the Power 2007. You were kind enough to share your visiting card with me and commented on my singing. Fortunately I misplaced it cause it led me to search for you on the internet and I was lead to read your detailed testimony. I had not been able to listen to you while in Kerala cause I flew in late. Your testimony touched my heart very deeply and I am thanful to the Lord for giving me this chance. In your journey the Lord has blessed you with many opportunities and taken you to great heights and now he is giving you a taste of the divine life in Him. I don’t know how we will collaborate and go ahead with anything but I know with the grace of God whatever we do will bring the gift of salvation closer to many people. Yes I love writing songs of praise, worship and love to the Lord and will do it when the Lord moves. Looking forward to hearing from you when you find the time.
Till then may the Lord bless you and keep you close to Him
your brother in Jesus

Was researching a scripture or lack there of and came across your site. Do not have time right now to read the entire blog. Got to the graphic description of your new trumpet case. I did take time to look at the photos….beautiful. I certainly enjoyed the wide angle shots and the humor regarding the “deal” you got on the lens in NYC. HeeHee. Sounds like the kind of deal I would get.
September 3rd, 2007 at 3:31 am
David, I guess God has lead me to your site for a reason, I’ve just returned to Jesus after a 7 year stint in the wilderness, and so much of what you wrote in your testimony hit a chord with me. I was brought up catholic, was spirit filled at the age of 10 in the middle of a classroom (so embarrassing I thought), but then after sexual abuse I became promiscuous and addicted to sex. I had an abortion at 12 weeks pregnant when I was 17 so I know how hard it is to live knowing you’ve killed your own child. But God never let go of me, even when I moved from the Catholic Church to find the TRUTH in an evangelical church at 18 years. I was born a great singer, in musicals & choirs all through school, but my low self esteem suppressed that. I was in a small band when I left school and sang at weddings etc., but never believed enough in myself or recognised the opportunities. After a failed defacto relationship of 4 years, I had casual relationships while still searching for the truth. I was baptised a born again at 24 years, and married my first husband who was an ex-JW and new ager and found me through numerology and became born again with me. He was a muso like me, we met at a Music & Dramatic Society where we both got the lead roles in a play. Satan did his best to ruin our marriage and it was a rollercoaster, while jumping from church to church of all denominations. But at least we have 4 very gorgeous children together. Adultery tempted both of us but unfortunately my husband fell into it along with drugs, and he eventually left with another woman. After our breakup I was a single mum for 3 years, until he came back and turned the children against me, and after 7 years in court hearings I finally gave up to save what little sanity I had left! I haven’t seen my children since September 2005, and the last phone call was on my father’s birthday, which was when they told me they didn’t want to speak to me ever again. My friends have run into him in the past year and tell me he looks like a drug addict, but unless I prove it I can’t get them back, so my only comfort is that God is protecting them through prayers. After my marriage breakdown, I started studying with the JWs to understand my ex-husband better. After 6 months I gave that up and went in search for the answers with the Mormons. I found another partner and we lived together for a while. We were baptised as mormons and within a year we had both stopped going to church. It was around this time I stopped believing in Jesus as God’s son and in the power of his resurrection! My 2nd husband too ended up cheating on me, and after our 2 year marriage ended I lost all ability to trust any men. It didn’t stop my sexual addiction from throwing me into casual relationships though! Later I met a muslim arab man just when I was thinking about studying buddhism, and instead I became a Muslim two months later. It was so strict I felt myself losing my identity, so I toned it down alot, giving up wearing the headscarf which I had done so for a year, and being very liberal in living in another defacto relationship with my arab. I also fell pregnant again and was so ecstatic that God had given me another chance to be a mother (I’m a GREAT MOTHER by the way!), but unfortunately, on my father’s birthday AGAIN, I lost the baby I so desparately wanted at 12 weeks when I was 36 years old. Deep down I felt I was being punished for the abortion I had when I was 17, and believed I had blown all my chances. Now I am 40 God has decided to call me back. Good thing cause earlier this year, even though I was still a muslim, I went to teach orphans in Thailand and started studying buddhism again! But the detachment from love and emotions really didn’t sit well with me, and I continued on as a muslim. Even though I am still seeing the Muslim man casually, I know he is not the one chosen for me, none of the relationships I had were born out of chastity, but of sin. Two weeks ago God lead me to a Baptist church which had a deliverance ministry seminar on, I was planning to go to the AFL with a friend, but I felt I just had to go to this instead!! It was only for born agains going into ministry so God smuggled me in! During the seminar I experienced a quiet revelation as God showed me how he sees my life, how I have been denying Jesus in it, how the demons have had their wicked way with me without Jesus’s protection to kick their butts and keep them from me, how I’ve been giving Satan permission to rule in my life, how my unchaste life has been punished, how my children and those all over the world need my help, how I’ve been suppressing my voice, a beautiful gift HE has given me, but most of all, how in HIS GRACE, he has called me back and ACCEPTS & LOVES ME in spite of it all!! I went to a catholic church with my Mum & Dad on Sunday, and now am feeling like I want to be a catholic again. My ex-boyfriend said he had a dream I was dressed as a Nun bouncing down the street all joyful & happy! I would love to get over the praying to Mary issue so I can do that, so I thank you for encouraging me to pray about it to Jesus! Why didn’t I think of that! Duh!! Well God bless you David, you are an INSPIRATION – and by the way – I LOVE YOUR MUSIC, it has SOUL in more ways then ONE!!

Hi David,
I am with the Gethsemane Ministries and had attended Friday’s meeting where you had performed. It was an awesome Friday and I am sure you will go places through singing for the Lord. I think Canada needs more people like you to sing for the youth, to visit the classrooms and testify of the wonders that the Lord works through music. Your testimony, I am sure, struck many a heart.
Thank you for your music and the wonderful lyrics and for the work that you do.
My husband purchased a CD of yours and now it is a permanent fixture in our car!

I sure wish you’d influence our politicians here in the USA who condone the atrocity of killing innocent children. God Bless You and I hope you will be successful in your endeavors…..

I came upon your photographs because I was looking for anything about Krakow. Your photographs are amazing. My own little digital camera took some great pictures for my own memories but the quality of your pictures made me jealous. I was in Poland for a week last month ( I loved every moment from the shrines to the Cathedral in the salt mines. – and like yourself am a musician – a singer. I got to sing in the little church in Zakopane and in another church – there were so many shrines we visited – I don’t remember. I also was interested in your photographs of Lourdes. I go there every year with the sick and disabled and sing at all our masses. I find it all very fulfilling. Again I say, your photographs are beautiful.
October 8th, 2007 at 1:46 pm
I must add to the above comment. I saw your photograph after I had submitted the comment, and realised that we met. Maybe you will remember I sang for you across the river from the Grotto in Lourdes. I sang an Irish ballad “The Spinning Wheel” Such a small world. I hope to be going to Lourdes again next May the year of the 150th Anniversary. Maybe we shall meet again and maybe sing together.

I stumbled across your website as was looking for answers, and I think God is just awesome for leading me to your message. A group of “friends” had basically decided to shun me because of my firm belief that homosexuality is a sin. They even had me doubting what I knew the Bible said.
Thank you for your testimony on that subject and other subjects. You have helped me understand the viewpoint of many people who have left my life because of secular humanism. And, yeah, it hurts. I want to cry, until I realize that tears won’t help anyone or anything. The only thing I can do about the situation is to pray for God’s healing in this world.
November 11th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
David I saw you in Moncton at Jesus, King of All Nations Conference, you were amazing, and your testimony was insperational to my own testimony, as you reminded that no matter how deeply we see our sin to be God forgives, and God will always lift us up. We are His childern and is Love is forever.
I hope that they have another Conference in the Maritimes and that you come again. I look forward to making it to anyone one of your Concerts, so you should have one out here you music is amazing and speaks so much well for the Love God gives to us.
Thank You

David,
My son James was a good friend of your nephew, David, through grade school. They went to school and to daycare together. James moved to PEI in August 2004, shortly after David’s parents’ deaths — he spoke to you briefly at the memorial service. He would dearly love to get in touch with David again. Please let me know if this is possible…my email is included in this post.
Thank you,
Deborah
P.S. I have a copy of the song you wrote for the boys and it still brings tears to my eyes. Your faith is remarkable, and one I share with you.

I was searching for pictures of Guam, because I get home sick, when I came across a few of which you took. I really enjoyed your photos of my home and read your story of how you came to know god. I wish you well in all that you pursue, because of him.
February 8th, 2008 at 9:59 am
Hi David! I love your website, and your testimony is very inspiring. I was baptized Presbyterian (just like you!), and I am joining the Catholic Church this Easter. Thank you for what you are doing and the time you spend helping people come to Christ. If you are ever in western New York, please let me know! God Bless.
February 13th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
Dear David:
I sincerelly thank you for giving us your awesome and so marvelous testimony. I am catholic almost since I was born (in january 1977, and my baptism took place in july of the same year), but I started to go to church in 1990; even that, all you say about your “re birth” has touched me indeed in my heart and in my soul.
I really have no words to thank you the way I should, specially when you talk about Jesus mother’s. My tears where almost waiting to fall, so thank you again!! for sharing all of this whit the rest of us. Not just for your testimony, but most of it for your terrific (and heroic too) work on behave of the people needy of Jesus and His Holly Word.
God be allways whit you!! And feel all of your being whit His Holly Bendition!!!

I happened on your site while on a random image search for pictures of Guam. I was blessed to discover your testimony and how God delivered and restored you; and how you’ve translated that in your life by spreading a message of joy, praise, and abundant life in the Lord! I love when the truth of God’s Word comes alive in people!
“Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.” Psa 51:9-12 (KJV).
p.s. Thanks for posting pictures of Guam, my home for almost thirteen years, from age six to eighteen.

¡¡Bendito sea Dios, que te ha utilizado para hacer esta obra!!
Entré en tu página en español, buscando información para una catequesis que debo dar en mi parroquia.
Me ha gustado mucho la página y sobretodo los testimonios que he leido. Dicen que solo el que en su vida de verdad ha visto a Dios es el que puede hablar de Dios con propiedad.
Espero que El te siga bendiciendo en tu carrera artística y que permita a muchos como Yo para que puedan disfrutar de la obra que El ha hecho en Ti y por medio de Ti.
Desde Costa Rica esperando poder algún día asistir a un concierto, te dejo mi saludo.

Hello David,
Thanks from the heart for sharing yourself so totally with all of the youth at the recent Pro-life Youth Retreat in Guelph, Ontario, Canada.
May you continue to be used as an instrument (no pun intended!) of bringing back to Him his lost sheep.
Your song ‘Life the First Human Right’, is really anointed for the conversion of hearts to the pro-life side.
I wish you good health, peace and God’s abundant graces,

Hi David,
I came across your site accidentally. I am not sure if you remember me from New York. I use to go to school there when you were on Broadway. I do remember that you helped me out during a difficult time in my life. I wish I could have helped you out back then after reading your web site. I am amazed at all you have accomplished and continue to do so. I wish you well…Lynn

David –
You are the best speaker that i feel does the job in educating youth on pro-life. By writing the info into songs it truly gets the point across. I have just gotten back from the National March For Life and i saw you perform your songs last night and it was truly touching. You got our schools attention right from the start! I can not wait for the next years march it was so much fun and inspirational!!

I heard you speak at Ignite in Bruno, Saskatchewan, and I just want to say that you are AWESOME! Your testimony is so inspiring, especially the part about your struggle with New Age “Christianity”. That message really needs to get out in this power-driven world. Someone needs to stand up against this, especially since so many people are tied up in it (and having Oprah spout these beliefs does nothing to stem the flow of these thoughts). So just thank you, and keep it going! (And go March for Life!!!)

Hi David,
I saw you (many times in passing) at Monkfest in Canada a couple of weekends ago. I picked up bits of your testimony while you were talking with my mom, but I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished reading it online in full and I have been powerfully moved.
From such a small Catholic music festival, back to home here in Michigan, I have been going through a lot on my road back to the Lord and your inspiration has been a powerful tool and witness of God’s enduring mercy. Thank you so much for all you do! You are truly a blessing !
Song #4 on the cd that you sent home with my famiy, Across, is the most beautiful, rich song I’ve heard. Beautiful communion song.
You are in our prayers! God Bless you and Thanks again! -Crystal

Safe travels,

Hello David,
I was looking for more pictures about Stonehenge when I came to your very well done photo of those prehistoric strange rocks. I have been collecting and admiring rocks since I was little. Every single rock has a history in. It is interesting the rocks brought me to your site – Peter the rock, the foundation of the Christianity. I just want to say THANK YOU for such a great music with the accurate message to this painful world.
I am a devoted Catholic (grew-up in the family of six children in Carpathian mountains-Europe) and have a few questions for you:
1. Why do you thing we are born without our permission to come to this world?
2. Once we have to come to this world why we don’t have a choice for instance to be a different creature not particular to be a human?
3. Do you thing that all creatures living on this earth have the same rights to be alive or the human been a superior “breed”?
If you’ll get to this message, I know you have many, many more; I would be interested to hear about your answers.
Thank you!

David: believe I’m trying to reach the right person: I saw you perform at a New Directions seminar at the old Met few years ago and heard a song by you recently on CHRI, refrain was something like “your cross is healing me.”
Reason for this: I’m on leadership team of Living Waters (LW) Ottawa, a healing and discipleship program for people with sexual and/or relational brokenness in their lives. We (team) are wondering if you would be interested in doing some worship leadership for the program. Some of our leaders have connections with New Directions.
LW has several programs; this year we’re running an 8-week program starting Oct. 20. Runs 1 nite per week, 2 hrs a nite. It’s a volunteer ministry, but we are trained to do it. LW is an international ministry; Cdn hq is in Vancouver. Here, it runs in south Glebe area. Program includes worship and teaching, which are co-ed, and small group prayer time, which is gender-segregated.
thanx

How’s the kind of people?i never like him.How he can cheat her?I think the God knows who is guilty and who is innocent.The God will punish who is guilty one day.

Hi David, just want to tell you that your site is awesome. I am going to lead a lot of my Evangelical frineds to this site becasue it has COMPLETELY changed my perspective of Roman Catholics. We have so much “in-fighting” among Pentecostals, Evangelicals, Baptists etc that I can now see that I believe that Roman Catholics have got it right after all. Thank you, and i know that your site has been worth it just for this one soul. Hope you come back to Guatemala one day. I would love to come and see you. Jeff Mills

Mr. McDonald,
I just wanted to commend you. Not many men in your position would have admitted to doing wrong. Your story was inspirational and I had to tell you that you are in my prayers. I pray that you and your “concerts” will be able to lead others to Christ and to the well known fact that baby’s are human from the time of conception. It is my belief that God gave us the “egg & the seed” to pro-create. To multiply.
Again, congratulations on your enlightenment. I’m sure you have often thought, too little, too late. But, for Jesus….it’s never too late!
In Christ,
Kacy

David,
I enjoyed the photos of the churches you have visited. I have been to many of the same ones (Rome, Poland, Quebec, Lourdes). Some I haven’t seen and I’ve seen some you havent’ posted pictures of. I am not a believer in anything mystical or spiritual, but I am convinced of the basic moral teachings of Christ. That said, I am a non-celibate gay man, and I don’t think Jesus, or any rabbi of his day, would have understood that. I respect the choices you have made, though, and wish you peace. If you ever want a tour of some of the churches and other religious sites in the Southeast US, give me a holler.

Hello Sir I had u on BBC world have your say last night.I wish to commend you to choosing Christ and leaving the gay lifestyle.Keep on serving Christ the WAY he guided you to touch more lives and speak the gay truth as it is supposed to be shunned. Here in Kenya the gays operate in closet. May GOD bless you for your courage.

David,
It’s Christmas and my heart breaks every year knowing that I am missing 3 beautiful children that I gave up to abortion. The pain of abortion never seems to go away even though I have gone to confession, gone to retreats. I know God has forgiven us who have gone down this road…just waiting to get to heaven to see our babies seems too long away. Thanks for sharing your story, you are extremely talented!!!!

David, I loved your photo’s. Didn’t like the comments about the church in England. I don’t agree with what Henry 8th did, however the catholic church should also be held to account regarding the sanctity of marriage, at one time in its history it forced all its priests and bishops to divorce their wives!

hi, for some reason i cant “e-mail you directly” and have it come up from my acual e-mail so here i am.
my name is micheala and i’m 19 years old and this is a bit ridiculous but i’ve had bulimia since i was 13 and i just got back from an incredible missions trip in China…but for some reason since i’ve gotten back my ed has become a million times more intense to the point where i feel like i have no control over anything and will never be healed. today for some reason i was especially struck by the fact that i know who God is and i know who he’s made me but i can’t seem to get rid of this huge obstruction in my life, in fact i feel like its just getting worse. anyway i was at my deadbeat job at the bank, planning this ridiculous trip to India (another one of my attempts to escape my ed…and because i love india) and trying to get out of work early and for some reason i started looking up nuns, which is strang since i am most definitely non-catholic but its like i’m so sick of my life that the vocational lifestyle seemed very attractive all of a sudden. i came across your site and was amazed to just read your story, i’m living in london ontario right now….and especially to hear that you have struggled with an eating disorder was just ridiculous. anyway i left work early, making up some ridiculous excuse and have been wandering around downtown ahha (i’m at the pulic library) and i realize i need to do something and i dont know what hell it is but i cant live like this anymore. i can’t do it.
anyway thanks for sharing your story, havnt listened to your music or anything but i’ll probably try and come make it out to one of your shows if theyre nearby.

God bless you this weekend, as I imagine that you will be at The CRY, St John’s! I saw your posting on their site. “And HE shall have dominion from sea to sea!” I’ll be praying for you, from this part of the “sea” & stand in agreement with All those crying out for Canada.
Loved the 2 video postings David!! I am trusting that all is well with you,

I came upon your site after reading a headline this morning on a survey of religious beliefs. It stated that more people claim no religious group today than ever. IT also stated that 18% of Catholics claimed to be born again. I recieved Christ as my personal Savior over 12 years ago. I have been on my own journey of peoples unrighteous especially those that claim Christianity. I pray for my family and all those I know in the Catholic community. I pray that they understand the blood of the cross because many believe in a broken key to heaven on their good works. Faith without works is dead but also my belief in one GOD and HE is the way, the truth and the light is never ending. Your love for Christ is evident. May God continue to bless you in your ministry. In Christ, A Catholic Girl
March 11th, 2009 at 12:10 am
David, WOW! What a powerful testimony. I just am learning about you for the first time. I had received an email linking me to an article about a man that was run over at an abortion clinic by a man that was taking his wife to have an abortion. The accident gave the driver a second thought, and a human life was saved that day, the man and his wife changed their mind and chose LIFE!!! Nevertheless, upon finishing that article I saw a brief headline about you. My husband has been fighting for the sanctity of marriage for one man and one woman for 13 years in California. You are an amazing representation of what it means in the Catholic faith to remain chaste. Bless you and may God keep you in the palm of his hand. And, I can’t wait to buy your CD’s too!
March 11th, 2009 at 12:49 am
hi david, my name is rojas. i am a kenyan. i feel blessed and encouraged by your testimony. i went through some of the things you went through and Jesus just pulled me out of the mess i a day.GOD BLESS YOU.

God bless you David
We talked outside the HM Clinic. That place gives me the creeps. I will pray for the poor souls who go there. I am haunted by a young couple asking me directions ot 65 Bank Street. I pointed in that direction but didn’t associate it with the clinic. I saw them kiss, she went in and he sauntered down the street. Some people were praying on the other side of the street. They didn’t even see them. Father forgive them for they know not what they do.
My nephew’s name was David MacDonald who died as a baby due to a congenital heart defect. Maybe my nephew can pray for us.
You are a wonderful musician David with such spirit in you -keep it up.

Hi David … In 1990 I caught a show ["Joy of Sex"] on late night tv … two things struck me … (1) in my opinion, you “stold” the show and (2) I noticed a strong resemblence to me when you stepped out of the car scene. I never saw you in another movie and wondered what happened to your career … I never gave it another thought until just about two weeks ago when I dusted off my VHS copy of your movie … watched the movie and decided to see what you were up to … I checked with the IMDB and found you had done another movie and no bio … So today I said let me google his name and see what happens … To my surprise not only did your name appear but your very heartfelt autobiography as well … I retired from teaching math [Mt Vernon HS, NY (1 yr); Sutter Jr HS(3 yrs); Pierce College (30 yrs)] … in many respects my life was similar … lots of kids wanted to beat me up too (etc.) … I have been teaching math to disabled students at Pierce College after a hiatus of about one year … but more importantly only two, yes, two days ago I decided to make a committment to the Lord and devote myself to the Church … I was born a Roman Catholic … Gave it up … Also lost faith … Joined a Protestant group … Left it … and have come full circle back to what is really important … Serving the Lord … Nothing else makes any sense to me … I also was too busy serving other gods … As you know there is only one God who is patient and will always work with us if we will allow him into our life … I’m glad I found your website and I am glad that you found the Lord and are doing his work … Thanks for sharing your life experiences that led you to God … Thanks again, and Take Care … Larry

Really loved reading your testimony and other parts…Blesses my sox off to see God’s Love and Power in your life, bro..very, very cool stuff!! Jesus IS the Only One who can truly heal and put the pieces of our life back together again. I lost my only daughter to an abortion in 1975 in Cinti Ohio..My life spiraled totally out of control to the point I lost all self respect and threw myself into drugs and anything else to ease the pain inside. Jesus rescued me from it in 1978 bringing Restoration to my mind, spirit and body..AND required me to Restitute for my choice to kill my daughter by working in the ProLife movement, giving concerts to educate and start a Home for Women and Children that was needed in my area. A billionaire in Hawaii heard about my endeavors to open the house for mama’s-to-be and gave me a check for $1,000,000,000.00…a million bucks, in other words..I didn’t get a cent, rightly so..and the House that was started in 1984 in Northern Ky. is still operating today. Proof of God’s keeping power!! Anyway, I feel that if more people would ask God how to bring some measure of Restitution of their abortion(s)into the world, maybe it would change some things legally..who knows..it will most definitely change THEM. As much of a Blessing it is to know that women and babies are being loved, supported and helped through many crisis pregnancies through these years, it has done little to stop my still flowing tears from missing my daughter that I never knew. And it never will. Even now, when I see mother’s and daughter’s out shopping, having lunch together, etc my heart breaks. It will never end for me, I know. It doesn’t mean I don’t know I’m not forgiven because I DO know that..it just means that I’m without my daughter. I’m without someone who supposed to be here, living on earth and experiencing life, with me as her mother. Forgiven? YES..Forgotten? NO..So, thanks for continuing to be transparent to the world with your pain. May God remind always all of us who walk the path of regret and grace..Someday we WILL know our children..what a day that will be!!

Hello Brother David,
I praise and thank God for your beautiful website. You must be a gifted writer. I can only praise and thank God for having good Catholics like you.
I work now in Qatar and just like Dubai, our Catholic Church has no cross to be seen from outside. It’s not permissible. In Saudi Arabia, we’re totally underground. We held Mass every after 4 months since the priest comes from Dubai un-noticed. It’s difficult to worship when the authorities are banning you from freely worhipping God but our faith were so high that our fears never stopped us from worshipping.
I have included your website to one of the links I have in my blog. I hope a lot of people may find it helpful and be converted. And hopefully people will support you for this cause. Pardon me for now, I am just having enough for my family back home. I hope you undertand.
I can only offer a prayer for you my brother and wish everything is doing well with you. God bless you and keep the faith burning.
In the Lord,
Er

Hi David! If you remember me, I’m the pastor’s daughter from the thunder bay urc. You gave me some great advice and encouragement as I was really struggling with bulimia. I wanted to tell you that I am in recovery!! And our awesome heavenly father is guiding me every step of the way. In a few days it’s gonna be 60 days of being b\p free. I never thought I’d be able to say that. You have a powerful testimony. Thank you for sharing it. In Christ, anna

Hey David,
I don’t know if you got my last comment I made. However I remember you comming to my school (Redeemer Christian High school) and you made you’re testimony.

I’ll be praying for you, and I want to thank you for helping me become a better, stonger beliver in Christ Jesus.

I saw you at Ottawa’s Capital Pride yesterday.
If your not gay or “used” to be or whatever you wanna call it, you dont have to protest at us. Unlike you, we’re celebrating who we are and as my first time going to pride and after several years of termoil, Im happy with who I am today and we dont need people telling us how to become the majority. Dont you have anything better to do with your time like pray to god to make you straight or something?
Wow, your a lost cause…

Hi Live
I can appreciate your struggle with same sex attraction … I had it myself. I used to march in pride and get involved in politics. I was on TV with Svend Robinson at his coming out.
There are a few things to consider. The Captial Pride parade was not primarily a celebration, but rather a political event that stormed the supreme court and the Parliament buildings. In a political environment like a march on parliement hill it is improtant to have true diversity of opinions. Just like the Queer community showed up at the March for Life to share their different opinions. And the truth is that the queer community messed me up, and there are many people in the community who feel the same way and it’s important to let them know that others feel the same way.
Last week I did not show up at the parties with my sign during pride week because those were internal community events, not events crafted to shape public opinion like the Pride March… I left everybody to drink, drug and cruise.
Live, you are a precious and special person and you will never be “like the majority”, whether you identify as queer, or bi or even just admitting that sexuality is very complex. None of us are “like the majority”. We are all unique individuals. And it is disappointing to me that you are suggesting that I become “like the majority” and keep my mouth shut when I know that people are hurting and are desparately looking for answers. On Sunday, you were sharing your experience of the gay community by dancing in the parade and I shared my experience of the gay community by holding my sign at the parade … actually I’d say that I was the one who was most unlike the majority.
Please feel free to contact me any time you feel that you’ve had enough of the abuse that goes on in the gay community. My life is 10 times better now, and I’m not at all like the majority, even though you would like me to be.

Dearest David,
I was surfing You tube for Pro Life songs and Catholic Music when I seen your video. I was so moved by your heartfelt songs. I was wondering if you are going to go on Facebook and set up a fan page? May God continue to work through you to Lead you and Guide you! May they come to know His everlasting Divine Mercy through your good works and merits.
PS I would love to hear you sing the Chaplet of Divine Mercy of course your version if you have written one. I’ve been working on one myself, lol

i am living in israel. i know the language of the holy teachings. i can firmly say that there is an total missunderstanding of the concept of the christ. jesus christ is not a people ,is not a man ,is not a spirit he is a FORCE .it is the force of attraction toward god, that is coming even now toward the people of the world for THE GREAT REPAIR,THE FINAL REPAIR, wich will bring the people of the world into a collective ascension, conform god’s plan. THE TRUTH EVERY MAN HAVE TO DISCOVER FOR HIMSELF. THE TRUTH IS NOT IN ANY RELIGION WHAT SO EVER,THE TRUTH IS IN THE INNER SELF TO KNOW AND TO UNDERSTAND CORECTLY WHY ARE WE HERE AND WHY ARE WE LIVING FOR.

Dear David,
Came across your website. You are such an inspiration to many who are suffering or lost. May God bless you always.

David
I just discovered your music. It has blessed me. I also have been reading are Catholics Christian? This information has helped me greatly to understand
about Catholicism. I have been saved since 1986 and I am just now learning about being catholic. I have been praying like you said in your article about Christ revealing the truth about his mother Mary. I am still praying the six week challenge. God bless you David and your website. I know Jesus lead me to Are Catholics Christian? because in November before I found your web pages I have been asking the Lord about becoming catholic christian.
I am still praying and I am so thankful to our Lord that there are people like yourself exposing the truth .

January 19th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Can I ask anyone who reads this to pray for me and my family as we are going through really difficult times right now. This site is so inspirational – thank you so much for it. Please pray that my faith might increase so that I may help others too.
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:03 pm
David, I wanted to thank you for your Catholic Bridge website. I just recently found it as I am searching for anything Catholic. I think I should have spent my whole life Catholic. I feel like I have been cheated out of the richness that Catholics have with their relationship with Mary, Jesus, and our Father. I will keep you in my prayers for your upcoming wedding and for your family struggles at this time.
God Bless You and Kristen in your future together.

Hi David,
I read your testimony, its very touching.God speaks through people to help others to get out of their sins and He has selected you.May God bless you abundantly in your mission.
I too have felt for these wordly temptations and have been struggling for long.I lost a good job and was very depressed also I am having problems conceiving. It will be a year that I im jobless. But few days back there was a transformation in my life. I have surrendered my life to God.And I feel that God has a special plan for everyone we just have to trust in Him Mathew chapter 6:24-34.
May God Bless You
April 18th, 2010 at 3:24 pm
Dear Beloved David -
Your testimony is healing to my soul. I, myself, chose abortion twice. I’ve never heard a MAN talk about his pain from making that choice. My prayer is that your ministry continues to grow exponentially. It touches so many important areas that are heavy on my heart.
May God Richly Bless You and Yours,

Hi David,
just checking your blog for some feedback on the March for Life in Ottawa last week. But the media and certain political figures are trying to tar and feather Cardinal Ouellet or should I say trying to crucify him! But he has spoken the truth and don’t we all suffer when we want to speak out the truth?
It appears that were about 12,000 marchers, is that correct? how many last year?
July 21st, 2010 at 7:32 am
Hai,
I read your all almost all story it was amazing, and I was telling to my friends that it can make a film, and the story should help all the persons to go back from their sins. My prays will be with you,
God bless you,
Best regards,

Peace without prejudice. I ran into your web site while trying to sort out the question on masturbation? I see that Fr. Bod Bedard believes that self abuse dulls the spirit. So many medical experts say self pleasuring is the way to go?? You are very open like Christopher West who has been working on the theology of the body as introduced by John Paul II. Self control is surely the question? I was brought up Catholic and was introduced to Bishop Fulton J. Sheen by a trusted uncle. Vatican II made a lot of changes hard to keep up with and was cause for confusion. Keep up the good work. Like in Alcoholics Anonymous your testimony is very powerful indeed. God Bless

Dear David :
I am writing from Lima- Peru!!!.
I have read some articles about Catholic Doctrine on the Internet and I congratulate you!!!, because they are very useful and valuable at this moment. Catholics need to know so much our doctrine.
Also I listen your music and I like it!!!. Please, what I can do to buy your CDs?. Peru is not in the list of countries with access to them….
Best regards,
Patty
