David Cross is the regional director for Ellel Ministries in Western Europe. He is based at Ellel Glyndley Manor near Eastbourne, UK. He qualified as a civil engineer but developed many life skills in a most varied working career, which included leading ski tours in the Scottish Highlands. Despite fulfillment at work, David found himself gradually more and more disillusioned with the ethos of "self-sufficiency" on which he had based his life up until that point. A change in direction came when he was converted in Hong Kong in the early 1980s and he eagerly began to follow Jesus. On returning to the UK in 1984 he became an elder in the Church of Scotland. Then in 1993, he and his wife Denise joined Ellel Ministries. David's clear and authoritative teaching from God's Word has brought understanding and healing to many who have been confused and damaged by the ideologies of today's world. David has written three other books in the Truth & Freedom series published by Sovereign World: Soul Ties: The Unseen Bond in Relationships, God's Covering: A Place of Healing and Trapped by Control: How to Find Freedom.
