Pastor David J. Meyer was born in 1950, in the small town of Clintonville in northern Wisconsin. Though his preteen years were normal in most senses, his teenage years were very rocky. If you would talk to him today, he would admit he did a lot of foolish things. One of these things was his involvement in witchcraft.

His family had a lot of witchcraft in its history. He became very involved in Astrology, Numerology, palm reading, and other forms of witchcraft. At the time his future didn't look too bright, but God had other plans for him. 

After repenting of his sins, Pastor Meyer was baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Shortly thereafter, he went back to the streets where he had done astrology readings, but now he was preaching the gospel. People were astonished when they saw the change.

He took his preaching all over the state of Wisconsin, including Appleton where he attended technical school, Madison, where he lived for a short time, and the small city of Beaver Dam, where he still resides to this day. 

Shortly after arriving in Beaver Dam in 1974, Pastor Meyer started a church. Since he was ordained by the United Pentecostal Church, this church was also part of that denomination. However, because of doctrinal disagreements, the church left the UPC organization in the early 1980s. Since then we have always been a non-denominational, independent Christian church. 

In June 1981, the first issue of the Last Trumpet Newsletter was written. Only 200 copies were circulated, but as time went on, the mailing list grew to be quite large. Because of this growth, Pastor Meyer resigned from his position at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh where he had worked as a locksmith to support his wife and eight children. 

The newsletter now reaches an estimated 10,000 readers monthly.
