About me:

I LOVE TO WRITE and PLAY MUSIC ... I often get the opportunity to play concerts and I have been know to Rock-Out a bit whenever I am allowed but I have spent quite a bit of my time leading worship for different churches.

I spent the past few years as a worship leader for Saddleback Church, home of Rick Warren (Author of Purpose Driven Life)... I am so amazed that God gave me the opportunity to spend so much time there and I am grateful for the opportunity to connect to so many amazing pastors, musicians and friends. I can't believe how much I learned over the past few years there!.

I made a little EP in hopes to get some of my ideas down and create a mechanism for people to hear what I am all about. I am currently praying for the right folks to come into my life with the right resources to take my ministry to a higher level but until that happens, I believe it is my place to serve anywhere and everywhere that the opportunity presents itself. I also have a MySpace site dedicated to my music at http://www.myspace.com/davidupton.

I love God with all my heart, although I hope that I don't act too much like the "typical" christian because most people I have met have told me that they don't want God becuase of something that they experienced with one of his followers.... so .... if that's typical then I hope I am counter-cultural.

My goal is to live an authentic life, be the best husband, father and friend that I can be ... of course I can't do this on my own so I try to live in close relationship with God and trust him that the rest will just fall into place.

Who I'd like to meet:

I have met a lot of wonderful people and I want to keep meeting more, but this MySpace thing is crazy! I also have a true FRIENDS ONLY account on Facebook, where I only accept people that I actually know (OK ... well ... I am insecure so I also accept friends of other people that I know --- sort of the 2nd degree of seperation ... but I am too freaked out to go beyond that on FACEBOOK at this time :) ) .. ..

    Hi Friend,

    I wanted to send some love your way, praying that ALL things are going well for you and your family. As the weekend approaches, continue to love, forgive, hug, and share your heart with those that are around you. This love thing is better than anything in the world even when we are having a tough day!

    Thank you for being part of my life,

    Sonya

    (Romans 5:3-4, NLT)

  • Pastor Dave

    Apr 21 2009 1:14 PM

    WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO
    2009 is here and its a big new year, new
    commitments, new grounds to reach, new hearts
    to impact, and its time to seek out the vision
    the Lord has for you and I!!!

    David, I pray that as you wake up each day, that
    God will impress on your heart to reach out, and
    allow God to use your gifts and talents to impact
    all those you come in contact with for Him.


    God has amazed me each year as I travel all over
    the world, teaching, preaching and just loving
    on those I come in contact with.
    I look back and
    sometimes still in disbelief that God can use a
    hillbilly mountain boy from little ole Asheville,
    NC, to reach people from different cultures, lifestyles.

    Everyone is hurting in some way or manner, and its
    the responsibility of the body of Christ to love and
    encourage a hurting and dying world for Christ.


    In 18 years now, God has taken me all over Europe,
    Asia, Australia, Fiji, South America, and still,
    it amazes me that I still run into people that
    have never heard of Christ, even here in America.

    So I ask you to partner up with me and Touch
    Ministries as we can make a huge difference in the
    life of a child or an adult just by loving on them
    as Christ has loved on us, Amen, because seeing a
    life change right before you because of Christ's
    love, is pretty much the most amazing thing you
    will ever see.


    Please check out the website, and the pictures
    videos, road log to see what God is doing, and
    please share with me on my message Board all that
    God is doing with you to impact this world.
    Lets
    work together to make a difference, Amen.


    Pastor Dave Soesbee
    2 Timothy 2:15

    David...It is great to hear the talent God has given to you. Your songs are encouraging to the Spirit. I too am a worship leader/singer/songwriter/pianist who's heart follows after God. I visited Nashville, Tenn last year at a Singer/Songwriters/ Festival in Music Row sponsored by Curbs Music and was able to participate in Sunday worship along with several other great Christian rockers...what an experience this was! Every soul was quiet before the Lord...it was captivating. Glad to be your friend and sister in Christ.
