David Witt
David Witt served as staff Representative with The Voice of the Martyrs for 10 years. In early 2008, David began a ministry, Spirit of Martyrdom, to reach Muslims with the good news of Jesus Christ. David resigned his position at VOM in March and now oversees the Spirit of Martyrdom Ministry. He now serves VOM as an Associate Representative.
David Witt has spoken in over 1,600 churches and Christian ministries in the United States, traveled throughout Canada and Mexico, visited thirteen countries in Europe, and spent three weeks in Israel at the Holy Land Institute for Biblical Studies. He has traveled to 40 nations total in his lifetime.
His travels have taken him to 16 restricted nations. He brought support and encouragement to believers in Laos, Sudan, Iran, Turkey, and Azerbaijan. He has preached in underground church meetings and taught in Bible schools in Vietnam, China, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia. In China, he met with house church leaders and witnessed their triumphant faith and courage. Most recently, he met with persecuted Christians in India, Egypt, Israel and Iraq. His heart has been touched, and his life changed, by their actions of love and faithfulness to Jesus, even when facing death. David desires to share their stories. He states, “The Church in America functions in greatest maturity when relationally connected to the persecuted family around the world. Jesus is not returning for an arm or leg but for the Bride of Christ.”
David earned his Bachelor’s of Arts Degree, graduating with honors from Westmont College, a Christian liberal arts college in Santa Barbara, CA. He was ordained a Pastor and Minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in 1994, and spent a total of fourteen years in youth ministry. During this time he helped start a network of Christian youth ministries in his local area of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and participated in the Ministerial Alliance of Steamboat Springs. Pastor Witt was actively involved in Young Life, leading mission trips to inner city Denver and the country of Mexico, and was the Area Coordinator for Concerts of Prayer and National Day of Prayer.
David’s wife, Cindy, holds a Bachelor’s of Arts degree from Westmont College. She, too, desires to share the overwhelming hope and victory in Christ that she has witnessed in the lives of persecuted Christians. They have two children, Jonathan and Kaitlyn.
