"David Olshine’s heart is to evangelize and disciple the youth culture. Raised in a Jewish family, David’s world was rocked by his parents’ divorce. During a time of turbulence in his teen years involving drugs and rebellion, David came to know Jesus as his Messiah. Ever since, David’s desire has been to help seekers find Christ and train youth and youth workers to reach the next generation. A family man, David has two children, Rachel and Andrew, and married "out of his league" by finding and keeping Rhonda. As director of the Youth Ministry program, David gets very excited about teaching, mentoring and speaking to youth. He has authored or co-authored over 19 books, including the best-selling series "Studies on the Go!"
