Few individuals have felt the crushing blows that have besieged
David Ring since birth. He was born to lose. On October 28th, 1953, in
Jonesboro, Arkansas, David was born with Cerebral Palsy. Orphaned at age 14,
he was cast about from family to family with nowhere to call home. He
endured constant physical pain, humiliating public ridicule and constant
discouragement. Yet in the face of these seemingly insurmountable obstacles,
David emerged not victimized…but victorious!
Life was worse than hopeless to him until his relationship began
with Jesus Christ who taught him self-respect and acceptance of his physical
challenges. To most, physical challenges of this magnitude would prove to be
a tombstone. For David Ring, this coming of age was and remains a milestone.
