About the Founder

2008-03-22T22:20:00.006-05:00

Dave was born in Omaha, NE. The summer after he graduated from High School, Dave heard the Gospel, believed it and committed his life to Jesus Christ. Almost immediately there was a clear call on Dave’s life to speak and share his passion for Christ, especially with youth.

After taking several Bible courses at a local Bible College in 1976, he felt called into full time Christian service. For the next ten years he served as both the Director of Youth Guidance with Youth for Christ and as an associate pastor with an emphasis on youth ministry.

However, in 1986 Dave felt led to pursue an insider approach to reaching the lost by joining the Sarpy Count Sheriff’s Office and then the Omaha Police Department where for 20 years he has shared his life and the truth of Christ as a law enforcement officer in the Omaha Metro area. In 1995, the Police Department selected Dave to fill a special duty assignment as the School Resource Officer at Omaha South, the most diverse high school in Omaha. His primary role is to break down walls between the police and youth. God has granted him much favor with both the administration and students.

For over 20 years, Dave has been a popular speaker at youth retreats, men's retreats, conferences, leadership camps, keynote addresses, and numerous churches averaging upwards of 100 speaking engagements per year. He has enjoyed a special relationship with the Nebraska Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, providing leadership and teaching for junior high, high school and collegiate ministries throughout the state of Nebraska. For several years, Dave led inductive Bible studies in his home to prepare senior high and college students for life and ministry. He personally discipled several of these men, who went on to serve in key spiritual leadership roles in their respective churches and some into full-time Christian ministries.

In addition to Straight Shot, for the past 6 years Dave has partnered with his younger brother Al (of the ministry Al Newell & Associates-ANA) and has trained leaders from over 50 countries on 4 continents in ANA's High Impact model of ministry. High Impact is defined as "an organization-wide commitment to select and disciple volunteers and teams to effectively reach kingdom goals."

Dave and his wife Jacki have been married 35 years. They have three children (two of them married) and 6 grandchildren.
All of their children profess to know and love the Lord.

Addicted to mediocrity?
Tired of apathy and indifference?
Consider having Dave address your group and having them 'stirred up'.

For over 20 years, Dave has been a popular speaker at retreats, conferences, leadership camps, keynote addresses, and numerous churches averaging upwards of 100 speaking engagements per year. He has enjoyed a special relationship with the Nebraska Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, providing leadership and teaching for junior high, high school and collegiate ministries throughout the state of Nebraska.

In recent years God has privileged Dave in seeing much fruit in speaking at Men's Retreats and other men's ministry groups and functions. Dave draws from his walk with the Lord over 35 years of marriage (with 3 grown children and 6 grandchildren) and 23 years of Police work.

Prayer Requests

2008-02-15T20:48:00.001-06:00

-Continue to pray for Omaha and all the families of the fallen in the aftermath of the Von Maur massacre. Only our Lord could take such a tragedy and “mix it together with His energy” for good.

-Saturday Jan 26 I will be speaking at the Plattsmouth Bible Church Game Feed. The Pastor organizing this event said that at last years event 80% + of the men that showed up were not regular church goers. Please pray for God’s anointing and favor and all whom God would have be there, and especially those ‘white for harvest’ would attend.

-Sunday Jan 27-Wed Jan 30 I will be ministering in Orlando, FL (at a Level 1 seminar) with Al Newell & Associates (ANA) High Impact Training (which is re-establishing a Biblical paradigm of Christian service). These opportunities to speak into the lives of Christian leaders from across the country are extraordinary and humbling. Like always, we take nothing for granted. Please pray for God’s favor and anointing on every aspect of the seminar on all presenters and presentations and to bind the evil one with the authority He’s given us as Believers. Also, please pray for His perfect, Divine appointments for the whole event.

-Friday Feb 22-Sun Feb 24 I will be speaking at a Men’s Retreat in Osco, Illinois and then will speak at their Sunday Morning Church service to the whole congregation (with an emphasis on Gospel sharing on Sunday morning). Oh that we could incite all Believing men to be Godly and for those already Godly men to excel still more.

-Sat Mar 1 – Wed Mar 5 I will be ministering with ANA at a Level 2 seminar (an even more intense course for those who have already been through Level 1). The opportunities for Ministers to invite God to accompany then to an even deeper level of introspection & Divine re-focus, is again, remarkable.

-Sat 29 Mar I will be conducting a Straight Shot Evangelism Course for an expected 100-200 (comprised of both Short Term Missionary Leaders and members from the congregation) people from Cherry Hills Community Church in Highlands Ranch Colorado. May all who have “forgotten their purification from their former sins” be inspired to return to the truth of the Gospel and may all present be incited to “live lives worthy of the Gospel” and especially become active in sharing the Gospel.
-Sat 12 April- Wed 16 April, I will be ministering with the ANA team for another Level 1 seminar in Hickory, NC.

-Sat 23 Aug –Wed 27 Aug, I will be ministering with the ANA team at a Level 2 seminar in Hickory, NC

-Sat 11 Oct- I’ll be conducting an abridged Straight Shot Evangelism Course (in two breakout sessions) for Stonecroft Ministries (you prayed this opportunity in) at their Women’s Conference in Kansas City, Chazown 08.

-Additionally, I have two possible/probable contracts pending for out of the country (Africa & Asia) opportunities to share the High Impact Training (tentatively scheduled for June and the other some time this Fall).

-As I mentioned in the last prayer letter, Jacki & I would covet your prayers as I embark upon retirement (Dec 08) scale down and make many decisions (regarding moving in or out of state or not) hence, when to sell, what, where to buy (you get the idea) and we just long to hear from the Lord on each and every decision and to make decisions that would please Him.

-With many of the aforementioned events, I find myself praying and fasting, often for a day, begging the Lord for clarity and anointing. I know that you’re upholding our ministry in prayer but if you think that you may like to join me in fasting for any (all) of these events, please let me know.

-I would remind you that this schedule always backfills. I totally rely on your prayers for the Lord to sort out which events and opportunities for me to take on. Also, I spend an appreciable amount of time every month both counseling and consulting. Pray that I would remain silent before I would ever give anything less than His perfect counsel or advice. Oh, how I beg Him for a heart of wisdom.

-Please pray for Jacki and me and our extended family and for health, safety and sanctified lives and marriages for all with our eyes riveted on Jesus.

-Lastly, I remind you of the many plane rides and wonderful opportunities to share Christ on the plane and in the airports. Please pray that I would pay perfect attention to the Holy Spirit and that I would never run ahead or lag behind but would make the most of every opportunity.

Testimonials

2008-02-15T20:28:00.003-06:00

"Straight Shot Ministries presents the gospel at its simplest, the way it was meant to be. I was equipped with the tools to share the love of Jesus in a very practical way. After receiving this training at a camp I attended I came home and shared with my mom about the love of Jesus and she surrendered her life into the hands of the Lord. Straight Shot Ministries not only allowed me to see the importance of the Great Commission, but also taught me a way to put it into practice."
