About David and Kathy Slamp
David and Kathy Slamp reside in Vancouver, WA. David is a retired pastor and university professor. David pastored churches in four states and taught at two Christian universities. In 2011 David retired from “full-time” ministry, and he and Kathy volunteered to serve one semester teaching in an African Bible College. That one semester changed drastically. From 2012 to 2022 David and Kathy visited 18 different African countries as volunteers. In these countries David taught over 5,000 Africans in leadership and Christian community. Both David and Kathy spoke for many different groups throughout Africa. Their African adventures were all unexpected blessings beyond human imagination.
While David was teaching in Christian universities, he began taking students to Israel on pilgrimages. He and Kathy continue to lead these pilgrimages; they will lead their 12th in Sept. 2023. And, because of his experiences in the Middle East, David speaks on major cruise lines about the Holy Land, Turkey, and Southern Europe. Please visit our invitation to Israel Pilgrimage 2023!
