David Pano is the director of Literature Ministries for the Michigan Conference. Born in Peru, but raised in Bolivia, his desire was to see the world. After receiving his Bachelor’s degree in Costa Rica as a System Engineer (2004), he found himself teaching Computer Science in Honduras (2005). In 2006, God brought him to the United States, where he worked in various health insurance companies. During this time, God was working on David’s heart and leading him to trust in Him with his future. In 2011, the door was opened for him to attend Ouachita Hills College in Arkansas, where he received his second Bachelor’s degree, but this time in Theology. Since his graduation in 2015, David has found himself fulfilling his passion to see the world, but now in service for the Master. He has preached in Bolivia, California, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama and Peru.
