David’s burden is to see the Church come to maturity through intimacy with God. Ravenhill was born in England in 1942. In 1964 he graduated from Bethany Fellowship Bible College in Minneapolis. He married the same year his wife Nancy. In their early years, David and Nancy served with David Wilkerson's first Teen Challenge Center in New York City. Following that they worked with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) for six years which included two years in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. From 1973-1988 David was on the pastoral team of one of New Zealand's largest churches, the New Life Center in Christ church. David and Nancy returned to the States in 1988. The following year they joined the leadership team of Kansas City Fellowship under the leader Mike Bickle. Before relocating to their present home in Lindale, Texas, David and his wife lived for eighteen months in Pensacola, Florida where David taught at the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry as well as maintained a busy traveling schedule. During and following his time in Pensacola, David traveled with Evangelist Steve Hill and the Awake America Crusade. David has written two books: For God's Sake Grow Up and They Drank From the River and Died in the Wilderness. Both were published by Destiny Image Publishers.
