Since 1988, David Michael Carrillo's unique style of ministry has allowed him to be a welcome guest in numerous churches and Christian organizations worldwide, building bridges between generations and denominations.
At GentleWind Ministries International, our mission is to bless the Body of Christ. David Michael offers a variety of Christ-centered ministries that are suitable for all ages. While GentleWind Ministries is not a humanitarian organization, it is a spiritual one dedicated to building up and encouraging believers in Christ through praise and worship music, along with the teaching of God’s Word. We also partner with churches and Christian organizations to share the Gospel through music, preaching, and evangelistic outreach within their communities.
As a minister of the Gospel, David Michael’s prayer is to use both the preaching and teaching of the Word of God, as well as his gift of music, to draw listeners closer to the love of God found in Jesus Christ.
David Michael believes this mission is accomplished by embracing a servant's heart, taking on a supportive role in working alongside the leadership of the local church or Christian organization that invites him. He is always ready to tailor his ministry to fit the worship life and needs of the church body or Christian organization he serves.
