July 9. Ken Weigel. Ken struggled in some ways about finding his best place, about exactly what God was calling him to do. He had plenty of stellar gifts, but they didn’t seem to be the kinds of gifts preachers or professors had. That is—until God revealed how He sees those gifts. Listen to this.  Feeling inferior can strip away your confidence; step […] The post Ken Weigel, US, Senior Director of Strategies first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 8. Setan Lee. Setan—the son of a wealthy businessperson and the “youngest student in his medical-school class”—was suddenly arrested for being intellectual. His escape was one miracle after another.  On this date in 1995, Setan founded TransformAsia, which has planted thirty-six churches and built—among other things—a women’s center, Battambang Trade School, David Orphanage Center, Kambour Village Feeding Center, Joy Day Care Center, and multiple Medical Mobile Clinics. […] The post Setan Lee, Cambodia, CEO first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 7. Simpson George. Simpson faced bigotry with grace and modeled forgiveness with patience. He refused to hold a grudge, and God continued to use him. Here’s his story.  Offended by man? Let it go. Be defended by God.  When the Board of a Midwestern, all-white church asked Simpson to lead, Simpson asked if the church was ready for a Black pastor. […] The post Simpson George, US, Pastor first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 6. John Huss. Huss grew up poor and became a priest. But when he came face to face with Jesus Christ, Huss’s heart was changed.  About 1401, Huss got a hold of some writings of John Wycliff, and from then on, he spoke out in favor of ordinary people being able to read the Scripture in their own language. For […] The post John Huss, Bohemia, Priest first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 5. John and Joseph Cathcart. John and Joe are two American men who had a heart for the Japanese. Seems like these men would do anything to tell people about Jesus. Here is the story.  People need Jesus. Do whatever it takes to reach them.  John breathed in the humid air of Japan’s Nara district and climbed another step. Tonight he would sleep in the […] The post John and Joseph Cathcart, US, Missionaries first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 4. Benjamin Franklin. Franklin is known to be one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. Few people know that he spent only two years in school. And later, he spent two years in a colonial prison for opposing the revolution.  At 12, Franklin became an indentured apprentice at his brother’s print shop, where he worked hard and was beaten often. At 16, he took […] The post Benjamin Franklin, US, Inventor first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 3. Army Ranger Sergeant Jeff Struecker. Struecker was the real-life hero behind the 2001 Oscar-winning movie: Black Hawk Down.  It’s the story of 160 crack soldiers dropping into Somalia to take down 2 top lieutenants of the renegade warlord.  In today’s story, Struecker’s prime directive drives a key decision. What he does is motivated by his love for God and his love for his men.  Once you’ve committed never to leave a man […] The post Jeff Struecker, US, Soldier first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 2. William Booth. Booth was a minister but saw that a lot of suffering people would never come into a church. And in some places, if they did come, they wouldn’t be welcome. So Booth decided to take his preaching to the people.  When other pastors denounced his ideas, he and his wife left the church and started training […] The post William Booth, England, Evangelist first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

July 1. Jeremiah Lanphier. Jeremiah became a Christian—and he felt deep concern for his fellow New Yorkers. So when a struggling church offered him a job visiting the congregation, he took the job.  On this date in 1857, Jeremiah signed on as an inner-city missionary.  “What if …?” will either cripple you or compel you. Your move.  In autumn of 1857, a lot of people in New York City were unemployed. Businesses and […] The post Jeremiah Lanphier, US, Businessman first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

June 30. David Green. Green, with $600 in his pocket and a craft idea, founded the arts-and-crafts store Hobby Lobby. So far, his idea has grown into 900 stores and several major ministries.   Still, the principles Green bases his decisions on are not always popular. Today’s story tells about a principle Green had to fight for. On this date […] The post David Green, US, Entrepreneur first appeared on 365 Christian Men.
