David Ellis - Worshipleader

David Ellis is a pastor, songwriter, and musician. At age 10, David was the least talented of all his family members at playing piano. But he would soon learn, through a prophetic word from his mother, that his was a hidden talent and that the Lord had anointed him to be "the carrier of a gift that's for prophets of the last days. He will play, and they will prophesy." When David met and began playing piano behind Kenneth Copeland, the anointed gift he was born with was activated. With his passion for worship and the Word, David travels all over the world leading worship and preaching the gospel in various Conferences and churches.
