David Michael Carrillo is an ordained minister of the Gospel and an award-winning accomplished musician thus the title “Musicianary”.

He served for a season at Trinity Lutheran Church in Oregon City, Oregon as a worship leader in 1997.
Currently, David Michael is a member and supported missionary of Spirit of Joy Lutheran Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.
His music, ministry, and call to missions were born out of his relationship with Jesus Christ which began at the age of 6 in 1972. Growing up, he faced the challenges of having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, (ADHD), learning disabilities, and being rejected by his peers.
In the fall of 2002, David Michael began offering a presentation on Living with ADHD to schools, churches, and other organizations. David openly shares the challenges an ADHD person will face in their academic, social skills, emotional, and spiritual life. His 2006 book release, “Fearfully & Wonderfully Made: My Christian Journey with ADHD", has helped countless parents and teachers understand the struggles a child with ADHD goes through.
As a “Musicianary” David Michael travels around the world preaching and singing the grace-filled Gospel of Jesus Christ. He has partnered up with SONetwork.org, a Lutheran Mission ministry that has outreaches in Latvia, Ukraine, Estonia, Slovakia, Albania, and other post-Soviet Union nations.
When not traveling on tour, David Michael lives and serves as one of the pastors and teachers at St Gregors Education Center in Saldus, Latvia. He also serves and works through The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia.
He also enjoys spending time with his Latvian host family in the rural countryside of Striķi. Three former students of Striķi school, Kristaps, Līga, and Markus have “adopted” him as one of their own, giving him the privilege and honor of being a “dad” to them.
“ In every way, David Michael Carrillo shared the joy and peace of the Gospel with enthusiasm and clarity.”
James R. Stuck, Former Bishop of the Indiana-Kentucky congregation Synod.
