A Near-Death Experience and Sustaining Faith Across Decades

David Craik is a wise, humble and approachable man in his 80s.

The sort of spry, engaged person that you don’t know what their age is until they tell you.

David goes to church with Ben McEachen from Hope Mornings.

During Sustainability September, Ben was thinking about top examples of someone whose Christian faith has sustained across many, many years and he thought of David.

In their conversation about David’s faith, David shares how a near-death experience in his childhood had a lifelong impact.

Beyond the physical, he credits what happened to him as a spiritual marker of import. A life lesson in the power of prayer.

David also recalled a pivotal conversation with a London taxi driver that has informed his understanding of sustained faith – an understanding that David thinks we could all take onboard.
