David Dorpat was my mom's pastor in Cd'A Idaho and she came to faith in Jesus at the same general time that David had revival in his life. What I remember as a child was learning and singing the song "This little light of mine". To David's family I want to say that Mom (Janet Johnson), my sisters and I have all served the Church and and in the Great Commission, sharing the light of Jesus to this day. Thank you, David, for your ministry! -- Jaeson (born Herald James Johnson).
