In North Carolina, Daniel Ritchie is a thankful son, for his dad, and certainly to his Father God.

"41 years ago, this week, I was born without arms and not breathing. The delivery room doctor looked at my dad and asked 'Do you want to let him go?' My dad chose me. He chose life. Now I’m a husband, a daddy and an evangelist thanks to a bold and loving dad. I love you dad."

On X Daniel describes himself this way in a nutshell: 

Rescued & Redeemed in Christ. Proud Husband & Daddy. After that - evangelist, speaker, author and 1st Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention

"I was born without arms.

But God is glorified in my difference and has given me a thriving life."  More about Daniel
