About David Michael Carrillo
David Michael Carrillo is an ordained minister of the Gospel and an award-winning, accomplished musician, earning the title of "Musicianary." Since 1994, he has been a welcomed guest preacher and singer at numerous Lutheran churches, conferences, seminars, conventions, and retreats internationally.
In 1997, he served as a worship leader at Trinity Lutheran Church in Oregon City, Oregon. Currently, David Michael is a member and supported missionary at Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.
His music, ministry, and call to missions stem from his deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which began at the age of six in 1972. Growing up, he faced the challenges of living with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, and the pain of peer rejection.
In the fall of 2002, David Michael began offering presentations on living with ADHD to schools, churches, and other organizations. He openly shares the challenges faced by individuals with ADHD in academics, social skills, emotional well-being, and spiritual life. His 2006 book, "Fearfully & Wonderfully Made: My Christian Journey with ADHD," has helped countless parents and teachers better understand the struggles of children with ADHD.
As a "Musicianary," David Michael travels the world, preaching and sharing the grace-filled Gospel of Jesus Christ through music. He has partnered with SONetwork.org, a Lutheran mission ministry with outreach efforts in Latvia, Ukraine, Estonia, Slovakia, Albania, and other post-Soviet Union nations.
When not on tour, David Michael serves as one of the pastors and teachers at St. Gregor’s Education Center in Saldus, Latvia. He also works with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia. In his downtime, he enjoys spending time with his Latvian host family in the rural countryside of Striķi. Three former students from Striķi School—Kristaps, Līga, and Markus—have “adopted” him as their own, giving him the honor and privilege of being a “dad” to them.
“ In every way, David Michael Carrillo shared the joy and peace of the Gospel with enthusiasm and clarity.”
James R. Stuck, Former Bishop of the Indiana-Kentucky congregation Synod.
