“I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”
These words from Galatians 2:20 hold profound and precious meaning for David Wollen. “It means,” he says, “that the Lord Jesus did more than give me life when I believed. He became my life. He is more necessary to my daily existence than food and water. This holds true for all who belong to Christ.”
David brings this sense of wonder into his role as the president of Haven Ministries, a position he took in 2023, making him the fifth speaker in the organization’s 90-year history. His journey includes significant broadcasting experience, working alongside Charles Morris at Haven for over a decade. During his tenure at Haven, he created and voiced the short feature, Anchor Today, for five years. David also spent several years in international missions with Far East Broadcasting Company, a sister ministry to Haven.
Now back at the helm of Haven Ministries, David says, “My goal is to spotlight the Lord Jesus. He is on the move in our lives, in our world, and on every page of God’s Word.”
David resides in the greater Chicago area with his wife, Marci, and their three children. They are active leaders in their church, where David serves as an elder and part of the preaching team, and Marci leads women’s ministries.
With a degree in Biblical Studies from Biola University, David is passionate about teaching God’s Word with God’s heart. He sees this as synonymous with Haven’s tagline: “Telling the Great Story … it’s all about Jesus!”
