Those Who Serve is a devotional for those who serve our great nation. At the core of this book are the themes of faith, family, and freedom. It includes personal life stories from the author as well as thirty-three stories from Medal of Honor recipients and ex-POWs from our country’s major conflicts. Some of their stories are told in the inspiring DVD, which is included with the book. The author also uses examples of military insignia and badges to connect military history with pertinent scriptures. It’s designed to be a resource for military chaplains, all those in uniform, as well as all veterans.
Evangelism Explosion International (www.evangelismexplosion.org) recently launched “What’s My Story” (www.whatsmystory.org), an innovative new gospel tool that helps Christians easily create their testimonies and then share them with others as a way to introduce people to Jesus.
Revival Outside the Walls (ROTW), a California-based ministry resource, now reaches 1.5 million people weekly on Christian radio.

The broadcast is heard on 16 percent of Christian radio stations nationwide and currently airs on over 300 outlets.

“You can see it in their eyes,” he said.
Puckett was one of hundreds of counselors at this weekend’s Three Rivers Festival of Hope in Pittsburgh, the city he grew up in. He entered the festival eagerly wondering how God might work in his hometown.
In his latest book “Your Story Counts: Sharing the Most Important Story of Your Life,” Dr. John B. Sorensen, president of Evangelism Explosion International (www.evangelismexplosion.org), demonstrates how the power of story is a simple, yet effective approach to telling others about Jesus.
This past week I traveled with 18 Americans to a part of rural Guatemala that I’ve visited seven times in 11 years. Our multi-generational team from Florida included a college professor, a lawyer, a salesman, a private school teacher, several teens and a 31-year-old veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Only one of our team members could speak Spanish fluently and a few had never been out of the United States before.
