David Sexson joined the Baptist Temple
Family last month and went to work right away. He started in the
thrift store sorting clothes, helping folks with groceries and was
soon doing client interviews. He might have set a record by serving
16 clients in one day.
David was an unchurched teenager who
came to know the Lord at age 14 when a church planting missionary
invited him to a new church start. David's life was headed in the
wrong direction but he found a new life in Jesus that set him on the
right path.
Serving 26 years as a Dental
Technician, David retired from the US Air Force and, then, worked for
another 21 and a half years at the UT Health Science Center Dental
School. He greatest joy, however, comes from serving God. “I
consider it a privilege that He works through me,” David said.
David has served churches in a variety
of administrative and teaching capacities, always ready to pitch in
when needed. He has been on mission trips to the border and Illinois
but the most memorable one was to a leper colony in Thailand. There
he witnessed a level of human suffering that he had never seen before
or since.
Baptist Temple made a strong first
impression on David. He said, after his worship service with us, that
he truly felt God's presence and that the people were very welcoming.
He was also impressed by the level of activity and the many
opportunities for him to serve. “I'm not going to a church where I
can't do things,” he said.
