This morning (Saturday), I have been given the pleasure of introducing Pastor David Michael to the 900 or so attendees of the Children Desiring God Conference. I am so grateful to God for this man; it has been a pleasure to even think about doing so!
David has been a champion at Bethlehem for the children who are different because of disability. So has his wife, Sally, who co-labors with him in the Family Discipleship Department and as the creator of curriculum for Children Desiring God.
I would strongly encourage you to read the following two attachments, in response to questions Krista Horning had as a young girl back in 1999. You now know Krista as the author of Just the Way I Am: God’s Good Design in Disability. But then, she was a girl with hard questions. And God provided through David and Sally Michael:
Thank you, Lord, for people who know you will help them to love us to the very end! Thank you for David and Sally Michael!

The Works of God 
Dear John,
What a privilege it must have been to do the announcement. I share your sediment and affection for this dear and precious couple. When Mark and I visited BBC the very first time 15 1/2 years ago, Pastor David and Sally were just assuming their new roles in Family Discipleship. That morning, we heard their vision for educating and nurturing children in the Word of God and said, “This is it!!! We are settling here at Bethlehem!” Over the years, my respect and love for them has only increased. They are the heart and soul in our church. It is an honor to know them.
