Reaching out to the lost is at the heart of his ministry, so Dave has worked to develop special events the church can use to draw in unchurched people.  One example of that kind of event is his annual Christmas musical that draws thousands into the local church to hear the message of the Christ of Christmas.

In December of 2008, over 100 bicycles were given away to underprivaledged children for Christmas by his worship team at New Hope Ministries.  Dave also preaches weekly at rescue missions like St. Matthews House in Naples.  And his worship & preaching at Florida prisons have brought inspiration and healing into the lives of inmates.

"Dear Pastor Gipson,

I humbly offer up to you our totally heart felt thanks for all you have done for us.  Thank you for coming to our facility and sharing that inspiring message...You folks do more than just talk the talk, by your actions we can tell you also walk the walk..."
