David Shipman founded and has continually pastored Covenant of Peace International (West Coast) since August 1997. He was introduced to missions work in September 2000 traveling to Kenya with Rev. Kenneth Harbaum (who he was ordained under in February 2004). His heart was so moved as he worked cross-culturally with those whose lives are met with struggle everyday. He has continuously, since that time, had a strong missions focus. Fully believing the power of faith and the overcoming potential of every believer he continues to help those who are fighting financial destress, addictions, health issues, and a loss of hope for life. David leads COPI West Coast full time. He is driven to help others, his desire through DSM is to have the flexibility to work with people and in nations helping people to obtain a Christ centered identity leading to an overcoming life that reveals the full power of God.
There are three pressing points that drives the ministry of DSM; an overcoming life in Christ, the ability to live in divine health, and having enough that the believer may abound to every good work. In all that DSM is involved one or more of these three areas are being addressed. The life of a believer is a life of overcoming. We all face difficulties we must overcome, yet too many Christians yield to natural wisdom instead of the wisdom of God, which has the power to live a victorious life. Join us in our pursuit of an overcoming life by becoming connected to DSM. The first step is to join our newsletter and receive encouraging words and updates from DSM.
A strong focus of David Shipman Ministries is to reach the Russian speaking nations of this world. These nations have had long-term impacts through the Orthodox and Islamic religions. Since David Shipman’s first trip to Russia in 2001 he has had a heart for the nations formerly belonging to the USSR. Having travelled to this part of the world multiple times, working with and helping to establish churches, David now wants to expand his reach affecting those who do not know the power of Christ. DSM presently has a podcast called Business, Money, Christianity: A Financial Podcast from a Faith Perspective.
Our Kenya Clinic is located in Kisumu, Kenya. Its focus is on pre-natal, gynecology, parturition, including c-sections. We are in the process of having our clinic fully equipped. Presently, the only thing holding us from opening is the remaining medical equipment needed to operate. This number will be updated as we raise the needed funds, presently $80,000 USD are needed to open our clinic. The clinic is located on the church grounds of Covenant of Peace International. Each patient utilizing our services will not only have access to quality medical services, but also prayer and ministry. Join us in brining this facility to full operational status by donating here.
