He is born to the late prophet and pastor Olen Arrington Jr and first mother Elaine Arrington, David was guided and taught the principals of the Holy Trinity: God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit. From a very young age, God began to influence David spiritually where he showed fluent skills in speaking, teaching and ministering to others. David always had an understanding of God, a second nature understanding, an anointing that was slowly introduced to him throughout his life.
