2hearts began in 2002 when Pastor David from Northern Ireland discovered he had heart failure and needed a heart transplant. He researched his condition and medical treatments through the internet, and found an enormous amount of information, a great many support groups and endless forums.

Every need it seemed was met, except one – the one he thought was most important. Out of hundreds of sites visited, none offered spiritual support specifically aimed at the many thousands who live every day with the trauma of major heart illness.           

God opened a door for him to minister to such people through the internet. Now 2hearts reaches thousands of people every month and personally supports more than 70 families worldwide.

David waited for God’s time for a transplant and surprisingly to him and his doctors, the Lord had a different plan. Unexpectedly his health improved enough for the transplant plan to be put on hold. He still has significant health challenges that limit him greatly but he uses his life to support others. Each day, health permitting, he ministers to people around the world who are facing the trauma of heart illness.

Some testimonials:

• You were one of the first heart "friends" I found online many years ago. Which then led me to other heart "friends". I don't know what I would have done without you and your ministry during those early days of dealing with CHD. You have been such a blessing to me and so many others and I pray that you have the opportunity and ability to continue your ministry for as long as your heart allows you!

• You've been such a blessing to our family throughout these years. Your e-mail always contain such hope and gratefulness for the life you have been given by God. May God continue to bless your wonderful ministry.

• Oh, dearest David, WE THANK YOU for your ministry, for your faithfulness to serve others when your flesh and very heart are failing. God has truly been glorified THIS and every day since you gave your life to the Savior, and in your testimony to His goodness, mercy sovereignty. You are a precious living example of God's LOVE.

• I also was reading some of the messages on your page and just really was helped by them. I just finished the one called Blown it! and it just made me cry because I am just really struggling with my emotions and the verses and explanations just felt like they were written for me. ...Thanks for writing that and sharing it there. I feel just a little lighter and a little more hopeful than I was a few minutes ago.

• I found your site helpful for people like me who has just lost a loved one from cardiac arrest. I feel so lonely and hopeless these past few days. My sister who had a heart ailment died four days ago from heart ailments and other complications. .... It’s good I found your site. Thank you.

• Pastor David and Joanna I thank God for your ministry to so many families who stuggle with Heart problems and just needing support in their walk with God...the many prayers you send are not in vain but God see your heart and I believe he will bless you for your faithfulness...Thank you again for your prayers for my family...God is my comfort always.

• Thank you Lord for people such as David McFarland who took strength in his affliction and has provided this sanctuary for others in need….. For the first time in 3 months I am beginning to feel at peace with this operation.

• Although we face cardiac issues on a different level, I feel as though our good Lord has brought you to me to help encourage me to glorify Him through our son's situation.  I always get excited to receive an email or a message from you!  They seem to always be exactly what I need to lift up those spirits.

• Your words have touched us deeply. After I read it and began to praise the Lord, my daughter read it outloud to all of us again. We all shed tears as God truly has used you to touch our hearts with truth. We are so honored that you have chosen to write back to us and to pray for our family.
