David (Santa) Riddell is a Christian minister, missionary, and Bible teacher devoted to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and serving in both the United States and the Philippines. Raised in a godly home under the ministry of his father, Pastor Paul (Bud) Riddell, David developed a deep love for Scripture from childhood.
From a young age he sensed the call of God to preach, beginning a lifelong journey of ministry, revival preaching, evangelism, and youth discipleship. He has preached revivals across America, written and recorded Christ-centered music, and helped launch youth camps that continue to impact young believers. Over the years he has witnessed many come to salvation and walk faithfully with the Lord.
Today David (Santa) Riddell is actively engaged in mission work in the Philippines, focusing on Gospel evangelism, discipleship, church growth, and Christ-centered community impact. Through preaching, online ministry, and grassroots Philippine missions, he seeks to encourage believers, strengthen families, and bring the message of Christ to those in need.
His heartbeat remains the same: to hear the Lord say, “Well done,” and to rejoice in Heaven with those whom he has led to Christ.
