Nationally known speaker, David Ring, will be speaking Sunday evening at 6:00, July 26th at Flint River Baptist Church, 12945 Hwy 231/431 North in Hazel Green, AL.  The service will focus on how to emerge victorious rather than victimized in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds.

David Ring knows a thing or two about being victorious in the face of insurmountable odds.  Born in 1953, David was deprived of oxygen for 18 minutes at birth leaving him with cerebral palsy.  Orphaned at the age of 14 after both parents died of cancer, he was cast from family to family with nowhere to call home.  He endured constant physical pain, humiliating public ridicule and constant discouragement.  Yet he chose to be victorious rather than a victim.

After surrendering his heart and life to Jesus Christ, he learned self-respect and acceptance of his physical challenges.  To most, physical challenges of this magnitude would prove to be a tombstone.  For David Ring, this coming of age was and remains a milestone.

Although difficult at first to understand, Ring quickly captures his audiences with his quick wit and warm personality.  He always focuses on an individual’s need to conquer the personal challenges and adversities of life.  As one who has not been stifled by his physical limitations, he clearly states his challenge to everyone.  “I have Cerebral Palsy…what’s your problem?” asks Ring.  Ring has authored one book, and speaks to more than 100,000 people annually.

Entrance to the event is free.  Arrive early as seats will fill up quickly.  For more information contact the church office at 256-828-3692.
