This is an I-Heart podcast.

And we return to our American stories.

Up next, a story from a man who truly puts his faith in action, combat zones, to be

exact. Dave Eubank's main mission with the free Burma Rangers is to deliver aid in areas of the world

where bullets are literally flying overhead, and the risk of death is high. He also brings his family

and children along for the ride.

Here he is to tell his faith story.

Let's get into it.

So this is how I felt called to be a missionary.

I don't know if I was born a soldier, or I just decided to become one so young that I can't remember the difference.

But I was naturally attracted to action and combat and testing myself and going forward and trying to face evil and win.

From a very early age, went to university at Texas A&M, was commissioned there as an officer in the U.S.

Army, was in the infantry down in Panama and doing different missions all over Central,

South America. Then I went to the second Ranger Battalion, and I was a tune leader there as a first lieutenant.

And then I tried out for special forces forces and I became a team leader for the special forces

of Green Berets.

Altogether, I spent just under 10 years, 9. something years in the Army and felt a call

to get out.

You know, the military has all its challenges, but I liked it.

I liked the action.

I don't like all the rules and time use, but I love the action, I love the people in it.

But I remember when I rededicated my life to the Lord in my 30s, when I had a crisis of really following Jesus and decided to follow them full on after a lot of failures.
