David Kopstein

David has lived and worked all over the world with his delightful and vivacious wife, Patti. They have congregations and followers in California, New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Hawaii, Aspen and the Midwest. One never really knows where to find them. Since they don't often check their cell phones and have great disdain for land lines and voicemail, email is usually the best way to get in touch with them.
