David R. Allen was born in Pittsburgh, PA at Passavant Hospital in 1976. He was raised by his evangelist parents and always had a heart for God. His parents divorced when he was 9 and his father was rarely seen afterward. That abandonment turned David into a rebellious teen. At the age of 17, David suffered in a near fatal car accident. David rededicated his life to God when he hit rock bottom and has been a Christian for fifteen years now. God has restored David and given him a heart to evangelize to the world that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.

God has blessed David with the opportunity to minister in over thirty churches in Pennsylvania by age 20. He has also spoke internationally in Spain, Jamaica, and Canada. His face has been on tv and newspapers. His voice has been on radio. God has enabled David to graduate from Asbury College with a degree in Bible/theology for ministry. He has been inspired with over 40 songs of praise/worship and songs which minister biblical truth. David even recorded a cd featuring 11 of these songs entitled Everybody, Praise The Lord. David is in the process of making a second cd of songs that he feel are inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Remaining Factors is David's first book. His credentials and life experiences make this book an extremely powerful and effective tool for ministry. David currently resides in Hampton, PA. with his wife, Lourdes, and a son and daughter. He continues to minister and share the amazing encounters he has had with God to a world that needs hope.
