In 2004 TTW asked David to serve on their Board of Directors. Also in 2004 David enrolled into Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. In November of 2006 TTW asked David to become their Project Director. In January of 2007 he accepted this position. David graduated in May of 2007 and began full time ministry in his new position.

David is responsible for all of TTW's international projects. David oversees the day to day working of TTW’s overseas projects. He is also responsible for doing reconnaissance work. David goes to new countries to see if the Lord is opening new doors for TTW to work there. The best part of his position he says "is being involved with seeing and hearing about people coming to know Christ as their personal Savior.
