A note from the David & Ranell
“We are college sweethearts who met at Barclay College in Haviland, Kansas. Right from college we went into ministry. We served in marriage and family for 17 years. A shift came in our ministry as God was leading us in the direction of planting a church. Compel Community Church was planted in 2013. We want church to be about relationship. The very heart of Jesus is to have relationship with Him and each other. “
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I with them.” - Matthew 18:20
About The Bonds
We’ve been married 29 years and we’re raising our family, which is our greatest joy! We have 4 amazing children that we get the honor of raising and training up.
David is Bi-vocational so throughout the week you’ll find him in the dental lab or on the soccer field coaching for our local high school. David is very involved with the Coeur d’Alene Ministerial Association with a great pulse on our communities needs.
Ranell is a Holistic Biblical Counselor and Christian Health Mentor.
She partners with David to run Hope4.5k, and is in the last stages of publishing her book that tells the story of their adoption. We are currently finding ourselves saying yes to speaking engagements that magnify our God!
We love serving our church & community. As adoptive parents to one of our 4 (we have forgotten which one)
We feel very strongly that, with 163 million orphans, we CANNOT look away. We must look for ways to help bring an orphan from ‘hope’ to ‘home’.
With our hearts for the orphan and David being a 5x Ironman & multiple marathoner, we put these two passions together and Hope4.5k was founded! We hold an annual Orphan Run in our city for a family who is currently in the adoption process. feel free to go check it out!
