David left his professional career in 2005 to bring his business knowledge to international ministry.   David believes that combining passion for orphan care with a focus on ministry excellence creates profound impact for the fatherless.  It is with this conviction that he desires to inspire, encourage, and enable churches and ministries around the world to serve orphans to their best ability, ultimately bringing glory to Jesus Christ.

David’s wife, Lisa, and five girls (Kristen, Sasha, Erin, Lauren, and Meghan) have been very supportive of this move, and have personally served in Russia and Ukraine for six summers.  Through their YouthReach International efforts, the Hennessey’s met Sasha while living in Russia.  They were immensely blessed to be able to adopt her in the summer of 2008.  Their family continues to be involved in orphan ministry within their church, and several of their children desire to return to the mission field one day to serve the fatherless.

Prior to this role, David served as Executive Director for YouthReach International, an orphan mentoring ministry serving in Eastern Europe.  In this position, he pioneered an orphan mentoring program using indigenous volunteers, encouraged US and international churches to support orphan care efforts, and streamlined operations for the ministry.  Previously, David served as Director of Professional Services for ScanSource, a bar-code and wireless data collection distributor, helping usher new technologies into a value added reseller market.
