I was born off the coast of madagascar in a slavers ship heading for spain. Life was a blur for me as a young man, I cant even remember my mothers face as she died in childbirth, and my father was probably one of many of the sailors I was living amidst, but none volunteered to take ownership of me. The Captain allowed me to live, as my mom was dear to him for some reason. I was promoted to cabin boy early on, and stayed there for many years until we stopped on a warm Island in the Pacific. There I volunteered on an east india trading ship, thankful to be away from the slavers and their ferocity for control and money. After 5 years I became the 2nd mate, and handled the captains most prized cargo and documents. We were successful and I enjoyed the privelages of an officer. with my earnings I was able to receive a loan and purchaed my own vessel from the east india trading company which came with a contract for shipping.
I picked out a great crew of sailors and Captained my Vessel Serenity for 8 years when off the coast of africa, on a small Island with no name, I met the love of my life. She joined me on my ship as cook, which was a great relief to the men for the last cook burned water, and had a smell about him. Sailors normally wont allow women to be aboard, but her cooking won them all over. 2 years later we married in Costa Rica, and within 5 years we had 4 girls. I then stopped shipping and started hauling provisions for various missionaries. Inspired by many ministers I started pursuing instruction in being a Christian, and soon found myself ministering and preaching in every port call and Marina.
Ok, maybe things didnt happen exactly like this, but my name is David Campbell, and I consider myself a Privateer for God. I accept His directions and Instructions. and Follow His Word as best I can. My ship is my life, my passengers are my family, a true clan of warrior women. I have been in the ministry for several years, working as assistant pastor and helper in any way I can to support the ministry. I am curently a CMC (conference ministerial candidate) for the Freemethodist Conference, working towards Ordained Minister sometime in my future. (or where and whatever God designs for me.)

In His service
The Dread Privateer Campbell
and my clan of warrior women.
