January 27. Andy McQuitty. Andy earned a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Dallas Theological Seminary and received awards in personal evangelism, outstanding scholarship, and effective ministry. For more than thirty years, he pastored the believers at Irving Bible Church in Texas. On this date in 2019, he retired.  But well before he ever retired, Andy faced a severe challenge. It hit him by surprise between doing his job and time […] The post Andy McQuitty, US, Pastor first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 26. Edward Law. Ed had had a hard life, and it kept getting worse. The day came when Ed got desperate for his life to change. He found a way out. Here’s his story.  Be brave enough to ask for help and caring enough to give it.  Ed sat with a loaded rifle pointed at himself. His […] The post Edward Law, US, Truck Driver first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 25. Jim Shoemaker. Jim is a plumber. A man with a skill.  The official line is that plumbers typically work a regular eight-to-ten-hour shift, but there are always emergencies and urgencies that make weekend and evening work necessary. Jim is a busy plumber, but he has a skill, and he knows how to use it to serve Christ. Listen to this.  […] The post Jim Shoemaker, US, Plumber first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 24. Patrick Morley. In 1973, Patrick founded Morley Properties, which for several years was one of Florida’s 100 largest privately held companies. At the same time, he was the president or managing partner of 59 other companies and partnerships.  In 1986, Patrick started The Man in the Mirror Bible Study, which has grown to include approximately 10,000 men, and Man […] The post Patrick Morley, US, Author and Speaker first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 23. Telemachus. By the year 404, bloody gladiatorial battles had been going on for 140 years.  On this date in 393, Honorius became Emperor of Rome. Five years before today’s story starts, the Emperor had decreed the violent games should stop, but they went right on—until Telemachus showed up.  Sizewise, he was a little man, but he has an important story. In 1984, President […] The post Telemachus, Asia, Monk first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 22. Horst Schulze. Schulze is a man whose biblical beliefs aren’t pasted on. He lives according to the Word of God at home and at work. He believes employees are “ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.” Employees are not mere functional warm-bodies. They are valued, gifted, worthy creations of a living God.  Schulze established this core value, and upon it he built success. In 1991, HOTELS magazine named Schulze “corporate […] The post Horst Schulze, Germany, Co-founder of Ritz-Carlton first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 21. Peter Muhlenberg. When Peter was in his early twenties and a mere deacon, a family friend suggested Peter might make a good missionary to Native Americans. But Peter’s father vetoed the idea and said Peter might ‘turn Indian sooner than turn the Indians Christian.’”  But Peter knew how to work hard. When he […] The post Peter Muhlenberg, US, Politician, Soldier first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 20. Hiram Rhodes Revels. Revels was a US citizen, never a slave, not the son of slaves. In fact, there was no history of slavery in his family. Still, some history books refer to him as a freedman—an emancipated slave. It just wasn’t true.  Today’s story takes place immediately after the Civil War, when—for many people—prejudice and slavery were life-and-death issues.  Revels stepped into history […] The post Hiram Rhodes Revels, US, First African American Senator first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 19. James Tour. James was already brilliant when he entered college. But he didn’t know everything. He didn’t know Christ, and the language of the Christians around him started out confusing, but he soon became intrigued.   James is still brilliant. He is now a nanotechnologist and a Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering, and Professor of Computer Science.   In 2008, James won the Feynman Prize in […] The post 1019 James Tour, US, Scientist first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

January 18. Eric Protzman. Eric knew God—in a way, loved his family, and thought life would be fair. How do you think that worked out?  Life is unfair; God can turn your pain into his purpose.  After Eric watched his grandfather suffer eight long years of the degradation of dementia, Eric told God, “I’m out.”  His grandfather, Dr. Weston, had been a surgeon who had restored—to many […] The post Eric Protzman, US, Consultant to CEOs first appeared on 365 Christian Men.
