Jeremiah 3:15 says "And I wll give you shepherds according to My heart, who will feed you with knowledge and understanding." This verse perfectly describes Pastors Dave and Lissa. They both love God, are completely sold out to His plans and purposes coming to pass in our generation, and they love the family of God, particulary those of us who call Missions Church Orlando home! I love this church and am so thankful that we've been called to work alongside Pastor Dave & Lissa in advancing the kingdom of God. They are truly gifts to the Body of Christ, locally and globablly!

Pastors Dave & Ms. Lissa have been our pastors for the past nine years and have truly been a blessing to both of us, individually and as a married couple. The pastor's heart that they both have and the love they have for people is genuine, pure and selfless. They not only walk out wha tthey preach but they are always willing to go above and beyond to do whatever is takes to get the job done. They have and continue to have a great influence in our lives and marriage and we thank God for blessing us with such "great" pastors and friends.

From the first day we came through the doors, we felt at home. We were warmly welcomed and soon felt like family. Pastor Dave and Lissa are truly the most genuine and loving of people. We have learned so much from our Pastors and leaders, not only by what they teach but by the example they show in their lives. We have truly been blessed by our MCO family.

Pastors Dave & Lissa Bush are people of the utmost ingregrity. It is something I greatly respect and appreciate about both of them. It was during a very difficult and painful time in my life that I started attending Missions Church Orlando. Pastor Dave ministered to me by being real and speaking the truth. I knew I had found a place of refuge at this church and have since been able to forgive and heal. Thank you Pastors Dave & Lissa!

Missions Church Orlando is a church you can call home! It offers a very inviting atmosphere that allows you to grow spiritually, in sound doctrine, while providing a family-friendly environment.
Pastor Dave Bush is committed to every person that crosses his path, with a sincere personal commitment and investment of pouring out spiritual and personal growth into the lives of those placed in his care. He is a man of integrity, full of compassion, who has a deep understanding of God and how to love others; a true leader, Pastor and friend.
Pastors Dave & Lissa played a very important role in our spiritual growth and pursuit of the ministry calling on our lives. They were always there when we needed them and continually offered their love, support and guidance.
My wife Crystal and I are indebted to Pastors Dave & Lissa for their anointed leadership and guidance. They clearly have a sincere love for God and have dedicated their lives to ensure that God's love is spread by touching as many lives as possible. Crystal and I have a very high regard for their ministry and personally consider them to be mentors, spiritual guides and very close friends.
During our time at Missions Church Orlando, Crystal and I were able to explore our calling into the ministry and served as Youth Leaders for over two years. I can honestly say we grew immensely through the spiritual guidance offered. It was both an honor and privilege to serve God under their leadership. We feel we learned so much about loving people, serving God and fulfilling our calling into the ministry.
Pastor Dave & Lissa have dedicated their lives to serving God and fulfilling their ministry calling, and their lives are a reflection of the passion and dedication they have to see the love of God influence the lives of everyone they know.
Sincerely
Todd & Crystal Henderson

Pastor Dave and Lissa are amazing people and we are so grateful for having been a part of their ministry. Being new to the State of Florida we were looking for a home church and came across Missions Church Orlando in the weekly Sentinel. At our very first visit we sensed the love of God and knew we had found our place of worship.
Pastor Dave preaches God's word with such dynamic passion that it stirs the very core of a believers heart, empowering them with a great sense of purpose. Sunday mornings are filled with excitement and every service provides an opportunity to experience God on a more intimate level. We remember all to well leaving the sanctuary filled with joy having experienced the Fathers love.
MCO is an incredible place of fellowship that taught us so much about leadership. Leadership is no easy task and Pastor Dave's vision of discipling everyone to be a great leader has changed our lives forever. His impeccable teachings along with the God encounter weekends equipped us with the necessary tools we needed to become the calibre of leaders that we are today.
Thank you MCO family, thank you Pastor Dave and Lissa for being the wonderful spiritual leaders that God has gifted you to be and for having blessed our lives in such a beautiful and powerful way!
We love you,

I love the family at MCO. I got saved at one of the God Encounter weekends over five years ago and spent the first two years of my walk growing up in this church. They were my family and consistently poured into my life with their time and encouragement. Pastor Dave has such a heart for God and for people, and he has always been there, ready to help, with a word of encouragement or Godly advice. I know I wouldn’t be anywhere near where I am today if God hadn’t surrounded me with this church that helped to build such a strong foundation in my walk.

I first met Pastor Dave Bush at Faith Christian University and he quickly became one of my favorite instructors. His knowledge of God's Word and love for our Lord Jesus Christ blessed me. Tim, my Parents and I first visited his Church, MCO, on Christmas Day in 2005 - I remember this well as it was the same year that we lost my precious Brother. The members of MCO welcomed us with such love and it was obvious that this congregation was a true "Family". We were quite impressed with Pastor Dave's attitude that church was not about "numbers' but rather, about raising up disciples and sending them out to share the love of Christ. He encourages and instructs others in strengthening their gifts and talents and then places them into a ministry which best fits them. This freedom even extends to the children of the Church which is so important. I am grateful to have had the priviledge of knowing Pastor Dave and his beautiful family and I pray for God's Blessings to continue at MCO.

As a young newlywed couple, we moved away from our families in Michigan and relocated to the Orlando area for work opportunities. The search for a church family did not take very long, because Missions Church Orlando (MCO) was our first stop. We had found home. Pastors Dave & Lissa both treated us like family from day one, as did the rest of the church membership. Although I went to church through my entire life, I learned more about God and His Word in the first year at MCO than everything else combined. Work has since taken us away from the Orlando area, but we still consider Dave and Lissa to be our pastors, and more importantly, family. Anyone deciding to attend MCO will have no choice but to be surrounded with God's love, and by people who truly care about them.
Sincerely,
Gene, Sarah, and Aaron Smith
Pastors Ariel & Paz Acuna - Missionaries to Thailand
In January 2003 we were introduced to Pastors Dave & Lissa by our dear friend Rev. Anita Bing. Since our first meeting, our hearts have been knit together in deep friendship as we partner together in advancing the kingdom of God.
Pastor Dave and Lissa have a passion to reach the lost, see them change and train them up as genuine disciples of Christ. Their commitment absolutely amazes us!
We’ve been blessed and encouraged through the years as Pastor Dave has brought several teams from his church to minister in our churches in the Philippines and also in our bible school in Thailand. Many believers, leaders and Pastors have been forever impacted by their teachings and their lives. It is a joy working side-by-side with Pastor Dave & Lissa.
Together we’re making history with God in this generation!

"The first time that we met and ministered at Mission Church Orlando it was immediatly clear to us that Pastors Dave and Lissa truly are real and genuine people. Simply said, they love God and they love people. In a day and in an age when many church leaders remain distanced from their church family members it is refreshing to find pastors who embrace and find their pleasure in relationships. Thanks for keeping the essentials, God's presence and God's people, the focus of your ministry."

“Pastors Dave and Lissa have been my dear friends for many years. They have always been faithful friends and always faithful to God. They are truly an inspiration! Their love for God and for His uncompromising Word is contagious to all those around them. Their love for their church family is truly a blessing to observe. They are pastors with a heart after God and a heart for His people. The anointing of God rests upon them in a powerful way as their dynamic teaching gift brings forth the power of God to save, heal and deliver. The most outstanding characteristic of Pastors Dave and Lissa is the LOVE of God that flows through their lives to everyone -- their family, friends and especially their church family! I am proud to call them my friends and co-laborers in Christ!”
