DAVID A. RODRIGUEZ

David Rodriguez founded Christian Fellowship in 1986 and Koinonia Bible College in 1991. He became the president of Therapon Institute in 2006. He currently presides over all three ministries. He has developed and taught over twenty-five Bible college courses, including the Book of Job. He has a master's degree in Christian counseling from Vision International and runs a private counseling practice. Once firmly ensconced in the hippie lifestyle, he was converted in 1970 and became part of the "Jesus movement." He and his friend, Jeb Banashak, began house ministries to reach those still trapped in the drug culture. In 1972, he began teaching the Bible in a ministry called The House of Living Water in New Orleans and has taught the Scriptures ever since in Sunday School, youth meetings, home meetings, and on the radio. Now he is conducting seminars and teaching in his own church. His passion is to help people understand the word of God.
