David Berling – October 19

David Berling Golfing

We will be welcoming David Berling, a Holmen native, to Halfway Creek on Sunday, October 19th.  He will be giving the message at both services.  David has a very moving story to share and we encourage you to come and hear how his faith has helped him through very difficult and challenging experiences.  Here is part of his story:

On the night of April 29, 2007, while an active duty Air Force Captain, David Berling was in a private plane crash in Los Angeles.  He was the only person on board.  Ultimately, David suffered multiple injuries requiring two amputations, 28 surgeries, and a hospital stay of over two months.  He recently wrote a book, “Just Living the Dream: No Way Out But Through”.  We hope to see you on October 19th!
