Meet David Marcus Luft

David Luft

It was great chatting to David and getting to know him more. David was born in Bristol. He has 3 brothers, Andy, Matt and Tim. He lived in Nailsea for 20 years and his dad was the leader of the church. David studied Photography at College and eventually did a year with a Church in Redding. He focused on Youth Groups, Door Knocking, Bible Teaching etc. He then moved to Winchester to work in a Camera shop where he stayed for 6 years before getting "itchy" feet. He was approached by the leader of Winchester about being part of a church plant and he eventually moved to Salisbury. By this time he was married to Heather and they felt it was time to move on.

M.M: What do you do to relax?
D.L: Watch football, write worship songs (not sure if this is very relaxing though) and make video's.

M.M: What responsibilities do you have in your church?
D.L: I lead the worship team. there are two other worship leaders and we have 3 bands. We started from one guitar and leader to having 3 bands.

Nathan - Left, Emily - Centre and Daniel - Right

M.M: Amazing! What else do you do?
D.L: We were asked to take on the Alpha Course which we really enjoy. I lead the discussion groups.

M.M: What would you say are the challenges facing young people generally?
D.L: Peer pressure to go against the flow. Our culture is fueled by the media - music, T.V, films etc which promotes a lifestyle contrary to the word of God.

M.M: David, thank you so much for your time. Great meeting you.
