David Vanstory
Executive Director & Visionary
Vessels Of Mercy is the manifestation of a vision given to David Vanstory while incarcerated. David was a βthree times and youβre outβ inmate incarcerated under a 9-to-12-year sentence in Guilford Correction Center for drug related crimes.
David grew up in constant fear due to low self-esteem but became very adept at covering the fear. The fear led him to alcohol and drugs as he sought to mask his fears through seeking all the world had to offer. He remained empty, afraid, unfulfilled & eventually committed drug-related crimes landing him in prison. While in prison for the third time, David cried out to God, repented, & was saved. David has returned to society as βa giver instead of a takerβ. He is an awesome husband to Sokino Vanstory of 17 plus years and counting, a loving father, grandfather, great grandfather & leader of this ministry to change lives. David was under the covering of Pastor Anthony & Lady Yolanda Stephenson of Life Changing International Church for 16 years where he was taught the Word of God.
David is currently under the covering of Rev. Reggie & First Lady Audrey Longcrier of Exodus Missionary Outreach United Church of Christ in Hickory, NC where he serves as an associate pastor as he continues to grow in his faith and leadership skills.
While serving as a peer counselor with the Department of Corrections DART program (David felt the call to Christian ministry to demonstrate Godβs power to transform the life of anyone who calls upon the Lord. David is currently enrolled in Vintage Bible School and Seminary in Winston Salem
βFor He who is mighty has done great things for me and holy is His Nameβ -- Luke 1:49
