Dave Roever (Guest Speaker)

Eight months into his tour of duty in Vietnam, Roever was burned beyond recognition when a phosphorous grenade he was poised to throw exploded in his hand. The ordeal left him hospitalized for fourteen months, where he underwent numerous major surgeries. His survival and life are miraculous. In every setting, Roever’s message is one of truth and hope. Using his life as an example, he addresses issues relevant to his audience and presents concrete solutions to life’s problems. Often drawing upon his war experiences of loneliness, peer pressure, disfigurement, and pain, as well
as life’s triumphs, Roever weaves together a message of courage, commitment, and survival that touches and transforms those who hear him.
