David G MackinDavid G. Mackin is an evangelical, charismatic educator and apologist who holds degrees in Bible (Portland Bible College, 1974) and Religion (Warner Pacific College, 1979). From a child, David always had a very inquisitive mind and knew that God had alled him to the ministry. David's many gifts include: writer, editor, researcher, Bible teacher and theologian. David taught at Portland Bible College for eight years where he counseled students and helped to develop the college's curriculum of transferable credits. He is continually developing his own biblical worldview curriculum for lifelong learning. David has preached the gospel in Canada, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Ireland, Finland and Estonia. He is a spiritual advisor both to believers and church leaders. He is known for his prophetic and intercessory ministries but less known for his speech and seminar coaching, worship leading, artistic creativity and poetry writing. God uses him to discern the direction of the Spirit in meetings when believers gather together for prayer and worship. David specializes in helping victims of religious addiction and spiritual abuse. He uniquely combines the intellectual honesty of professional biblical scholarship with genuine spirituality and pastoral care. David desires to heal the divisions in the church by teaching believers how to study the Bible for themselves. He does this by showing believers the necessity of understanding the books of the Bible in their original contexts through the use of professional Bible commentaries and Bible dictionaries. He encourages believers to interpret the Old Testament in light of the New Testament. Read More Read Less
