Dependence on the Lord

March 10, 2021 • John Harris

David Fites grew up in a small town in Northeast Ohio where things were a little less congested as they are here in metro Atlanta. There on the family farm with a large family presence all around is where he learned the value of hard work. David credits his parents and grandparents with allowing him to see faith in Jesus Christ in action. Their deep trust and dependency upon the Lord helped guide David to his own personal relationship with the Lord at the age of 9. His local church and family helped develop the strong desire to serve the Lord and to be involved in other people’s lives. To hear more of David's story, watch this episode of Speaking with Grace.
