Is this the same Dave Krentel who pastored McKinney Memorial BIble Church in Fort Worth, Texas in 1985? If so, we are listening to his sermons on tape from that date. They were great then and great now. What a legacy!

Dave was Assistant Pastor at Spring Branch Community Church in Houston in the early to mid 1970s when I was a college student. He ministered to the young college guys, and he was so enthusiastically in love with the Lord it has influenced me to this day. He counseled me when I was trying to decide about getting married to my current wife, Irma, and graciously provided some of our pre-marital counseling. Irma and I want to thank Dave, his family, and the Lord for Dave's care for us at that important time in our lives between 1973 and 1974.
