About David Weiss

Dave Weiss is a lifelong artist who earned his living in the fields of graphic design and visual arts for most of his career. When he felt the call to ministry, he ended up using the visual arts as a ministry tool and became a sought after speaker. Today he pastors a church, and has an itinerant ministry in which he combines speed painting and other visual arts, with storytelling, video, animation and preaching God's Word. He has ministered in about 300 venues in 20 states. He is the author of several self published books on creative ministry, creative ideas/prompts and other topics, and is currently working on his first novel. He has an MDIV and DMIN with a focus on creative arts and ministry. More on his work/ministry can be seen at AMOKArts.com.
