Getting To Know Us

Pastor Dave Van Winkle

Dave Van Winkle has a timely message for any generation. During his forty-eight years of ministry, he has served as a senior pastor and has also traveled in evangelism as well.

Dave and Teresa have five children between them and eleven grandchildren. Nana Teresa was created to “mother” and “dote” on her grands. She is happiest when hosting family gatherings in her home in Eustis, Florida.

During a fast in 2020, God clearly spoke to Dave and Teresa to host a Bible teaching on Facebook Live each Sunday. Almost immediately there was a young man in Pakistan that started watching the broadcast. He asked Dave to mentor him. He was facing many challenges in his nation as he maintained an orphanage for 30 children. He volunteered to translate Dave’s teachings from English to Urdu, the language of Pakistan. The teachings are aired several times weekly on television, as well as on YouTube and Facebook.

Dave and Teresa are called through media to:

  • Introduce people to a loving God.
  • Equip people with life-changing biblical truths.
  • Serve tangibly people who are in need.

The home of Dave and Teresa is a sanctuary for healing, personal ministry and teaching. What a blessing they are as they put into practice the Bible verse, Mathew 28:19, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…”

One of our outreaches involves a satellite that reaches into all of Asia. What a privilege to reach into 50 plus nations with such a large population. Some of our programs are live while others are recorded and aired. We did a live program and saw over 450 decisions to follow Christ. There were testimonies of healings and others were touched by the power of God.

We also are planning on doing Open Air Crusades in Pakistan and India. We are always looking for ways of reaching those who have a hunger and want to follow Christ.

Dave lost his leg in 2018 due to an anyerism and blood clot. He has adjusted to wearing a prosthesis. He is an above knee amputee. He understands phantom pain and stump pain along with the daily challenges of limb loss. Dave will be the first to tell you that it was God’s grace along with the prayers of friends and family that got him through this life changing ordeal. There are still challenging days but God sees him through. God will see you through your life challenges as well. “God is a present help in time of trouble”. Psalm 46:1
