On this date in 1836, Titus made his first evangelical […] The post Titus Coan, US, Missionary first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

November 28. George Mueller. Mueller was a thief and a gambler—up until he was 14. About his childhood, he wrote: “Despite my sinful lifestyle and cold heart, God had mercy on me. I was as careless as ever.… I never heard the gospel preached. Nobody told me that Jesus meant for Christians, by the help of God, to live according to the Holy Scriptures.”  […] The post George Mueller, England, Evangelist first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

November 27. Keith Green. As a toddler, Keith sang “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” with perfect pitch.

November 26. Robby Dilmore. Robby is a car guy. He’s been a car guy since 1971, when he started out at the dealership—washing cars.

November 25. David Brainerd. When Brainerd turned 20, he met Jesus.

In his […] The post David Brainerd, US, Missionary first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

November 24. Paul Carlson. When the Christian Medical and Dental Society sent out an urgent call for doctors to go to the Congo, Carlson went for a six-month assignment. But even when he was back home, the people of the Congo and their huge need for doctors stayed with him.  So, in 1963, Carlson took a 75 percent pay cut, left cushy Redondo Beach, California, and moved his family to […] The post Paul Carlson, US, Medical Missionary first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

November 23. Sujo John. It’s been about two decades since Sujo and his wife Mary left Calcutta and moved to New York City.  In 2008, Sujo started “I Am Second,” a Dallas-based nonprofit experiment. His question was: What would happen if he cast a vision of a life lived for something greater than himself?  To answer that, his group started by telling twenty short-film stories about real people who had […] The post Sujo John, US, Survivor first appeared on 365 Christian Men.
