March 2022

Over 34 wars and armed conflicts are taking place right now around the world.

Ten of those conflicts have had more than 10,000 deaths. Most of those conflicts have made it dangerous to be a Christian – many have destroyed the churches and killed hundreds of pastors. 

At the forefront right now is the war in Ukraine.

This is precisely why the Lord led us to launch the Dangerous Nations outreach. To translate needed materials into key languages – to lead men to Jesus. To equip leaders to disciple men. To save families and bring hope to the next generation. To reach the hearts of men for Christ.

We have two books in Russian and we are giving them away free. 

40% of the people in Ukraine speak Russian, and most of Russia does.

Below are the links to Never Quit and Strong Men in Tough Times in Russian!

Both are FREE – just click on the images or links below to download instantly.

Men in Russia need these tools and the men in Ukraine.

Every Russian-speaking man in the world needs this powerful truth.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL AND THE LINKS TO SOMEONE YOU KNOW WHO SPEAKS RUSSIAN.

You may know someone who has relatives in those nations or a friend in government … let’s get them to people that will be blessed.

The remarkable courage-under-fire of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine has inspired all of us. His courage is not just about himself – but for those whom he is responsible for. 

Courage inspires others.

When you stand against unrighteousness at your job, in your community, or with your family – you inspire others. Courage is the result of embracing your destiny as a man of God. We all must be men of courage.

Proverbs 28:1 says, “The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions.”

The Bible is a book of moral courage, moral fortitude, and moral strength.

While the world obsessively leans into negativity and fear – we as Christian men are fully embracing courage and the faith-filled nature of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 6:13 says, “Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle, you will still be standing firm.” 

Then, verse 18 says, “Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”

This is where you and I must live – in the center of courage – the life of a man fully committed to trust in God.

Courage is built. Join me on YouTube for the series on Courage – you can find it HERE. 

We continue to pray for Ukraine. For every country that is part of our Dangerous Nations outreach. For our brothers and their families in the Russian Federation – for men everywhere.

We believe that not one man is beyond the reach of God’s grace.

We are covered in the armor of God – and after the battle…we will still be standing strong.

Jesus had a word about war – and peace.

Peace is always the result of strength – yet war seems always on the horizon. We live in a violent, chaotic world. One in which evil men are ever-present. We can try to ignore the issues as ‘over there’ or ‘in that urban city’ or somewhere ‘not where we’re at’ – but that won’t make them go away.

What wins – is our faith.

And the determination to hold on to faith in the face of all hell … and to walk into that hell with courage.

The world is full of bad-hearted men against whom we must stand strong. The world has always had war and ethnic hatreds. Evil men who dream of dictatorial conquests, angry young men who find meaning by joining extremist movements, bullies who find satisfaction in violence against innocent people.

But the man of God is a man of hope – filled with courage, perseverance, and faith.

Why are we filled with hope? Because of Jesus. That’s it – Jesus.

So blindingly simple as to be causally overlooked in the face of chaos – Jesus is the prince of peace, the center of all creation, the Lion of Judah and his kingdom is daily expanding across the globe. He is the beginning and the finish. Alpha/Omega.

Jesus said two things that have focused my heart:

 “Jesus answered them … “The Father is with me. I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world, you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart [take courage]! I’ve conquered the world.” John 16:31-33

“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.” John 14:27

Two words to help us find our peace.

And, our resilience.

Stand strong. Beat the bullies of anxiety, depression, and fear.

Take courage.

Courage is needed in a world of conflict, chaos, and disruption.

The picture above shows brave men lining up to get into Ukraine. They are heading to the sound of the battle. And it’s a vivid reminder of the call to every man of God, in every town and village of the world to head to the sound of the battle. 

The world defines peace as the absence of conflict or the absence of war, but God defines peace as His presence even in the middle of the war or the middle of the conflict. Courage is the result of trusting Him.

Our hearts and prayers are with our Ukrainian brothers and sisters, believing for them to experience God’s presence today. Confusion on the part of the enemy and Courage in the face of evil.

Courage is what carries each of us through conflict, trouble, and challenges that can appear unexpectedly. Courage is the result of faith that God will keep His word.
