Currently, he is serving in ACTStream, the worship ministry of ACTS Church, Subang Jaya, which he is a member of. David has decided to take a "step of faith" to serve as a full-time musician in the church, starting year 2004. He will be heading a music academy called "ACTStream Academy." His passion and dream is to train Christian musicians to excel in playing music for the Lord and raising the standards of musicianship in Malaysia and beyond through ACTStream Academy.
His desire is to see all Christians worship God passionately, not holding back, but playing music skillfully with every bit of their strength, singing with every single breath that they have and always taking worship to the next level. David describes worship as being a "party" and that it should be like one. Worship is God's time and therefore we should give Him the best and enjoying while we do it!
