You’re among the first to get a sneak peek at our 72-Hour Discipleship Challenge to send as many children as possible on The Greatest Journey of their lives!
You can help give a boy or girl overseas the opportunity to learn about Jesus and experience the life-changing truth of the Gospel through The Greatest Journey—the 12-lesson discipleship course designed for Operation Christmas Child shoebox recipients.
“After attending The Greatest Journey course, I came to know the living and loving God who sent His beloved Son Jesus Christ,” a student in a hard-to-reach Asian country said. “My heart was touched when I learned about the Cross. I got tears in my eyes knowing only Jesus can forgive my sins.”
For just $6, Samaritan’s Purse can provide a child with a workbook, a Bible in their own language, a graduation certificate, and a trained teacher who will share the Good News with them throughout the classes.
We praise God that over 12.5 million children in more than 100 countries have already made decisions for Jesus Christ through this program. But millions more still need to be reached with the Gospel.
Will you help us jump-start this unique opportunity to let children in need around the world know how much God loves them?

The best time of day to exercise
Want to exercise but having trouble gaining momentum? Work with your nature, not against it. Plan physical activity for the times of day when you tend to feel the most active (or at least not quite as unmotivated)! If you’re an early bird, go jogging first thing in the morning. If you’re more of a night owl, you might prefer taking a walk in the evening.

Born September 13, 1887, Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt III was the eldest son and second eldest child of President Theodore Roosevelt. His father expected much of him; he gave him a real rifle when he was nine, and would talk to him about history and famous battles while walking to the office together. Graduating from Harvard, young Roosevelt became a successful businessman, but military matters were never far from him or his family.
In 1915, with the Great War already under way in Europe, Roosevelt and two of his three brothers attended a summer camp, receiving military training at their own expense. When the U.S. joined the war in April 1917, Theodore Roosevelt senior asked General Pershing to allow his sons to join the American Expeditionary Force as privates. Due to their performance at the camp, Pershing accepted them as officers instead: Theodore as a major and Archie as a lieutenant. Their brother Kermit volunteered with the British army, and Quentin, the youngest of the boys, had already joined the Army Air Service, where he served honorably until his death in a dogfight in 1918.

Teddy was considered the best battalion commander in the 1st Division (which became known later as “The Big Red One”, named after its shoulder patch), who cared so much for his men he bought them combat boots from his own money. He was gassed and wounded, and ended the war as a lieutenant colonel. With the war winding down, he was one of the founders of what later became the American Legion, the nonprofit organization of U.S. war veterans. He was nominated as its first national commander but turned down the honor as he was harboring political ambitions and didn’t want to discredit the Legion by using it for his own gains.

Between the world wars, while attending the refresher courses and training as a reservist, he followed in his father’s footsteps as a politician, serving as Governor of Puerto Rico and Governor-General of the Philippines, but the advent of World War II saw his return to the military in 1941. He commanded the same 26th Infantry Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division he had served with in the Great War and was soon promoted to brigadier general. Fighting in North Africa, he showed a direct, hands-on approach to command, making decisions right on the front line, staying as close to the action as possible. He was heavily criticized by General Patton for his habit of eschewing regulation field uniforms – “brave but otherwise, no soldier” Patton once wrote of him – and by Bradley for having a relationship with his soldiers that was bad for discipline. Roosevelt was relieved along with the commander of the division, Major General Terry Allen, but continued serving as assistant commander of the 1st Infantry Division in Sicily, Sardinia and the subsequent operations in Italy.

In February 1944, he was sent to England to participate in the preparations of the Normandy landings as Assistant Division Commander of the 4th Infantry Division assigned to land at Utah Beach. Anxious to get back into action, he made several verbal requests to the commander of the division, Major General Raymond Barton, about being allowed to go with the first wave of troops. After refusal, he made a written petition, arguing for the need to have a general on site even as further waves of troops arrived: “The force and skill with which the first elements hit the beach and proceed may determine the ultimate success of the operation…. With troops engaged for the first time, the behavior pattern of all is apt to be set by those first engagements. [It is] considered that accurate information of the existing situation should be available for each succeeding element as it lands. You should have when you get to shore an overall picture in which you can place confidence. I believe I can contribute materially on all of the above by going in with the assault companies. Furthermore, I personally know both officers and men of these advance units and believe that it will steady them to know that I am with them.”
Barton relented despite heavy misgivings, as he was sure that Roosevelt, 56 and walking with a cane due to arthritis, would die in action. Thus, Ted Roosevelt became the oldest soldier in Normandy and the only general to land with the first wave. As a side note, his son, Quentin Roosevelt II, named after Ted’s brother who had died in World War I, also landed in the first wave, but on Omaha Beach.WebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTube

When they hit the shore, Roosevelt was informed they’ve drifted a mile and a half off course. With cane in one hand and a pistol in the other, he personally reconnoitered the area behind the beach, then came back to his men and uttered his immortal words: “We’ll start the war from right here!” Like he suggested in his letter to Barton, he greeted subsequent waves of troops, informing them of the changes in the plan and keeping up the morale of the men – often with enemy fire kicking up the dirt nearby. In the iconic film from 1962 about the D-Day landings, The Longest Day, he was played by Henry Fonda. It showed his struggle to be allowed to land in the first wave and his landing on Utah Beach. Following D-Day, he used a Jeep named “Rough Rider” which was the nickname of his father’s unit, the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, during the Spanish–American War in 1898.

Roosevelt didn’t live long enough to enjoy the fame he earned on the beach. In addition to arthritis, he also had heart problems, a condition he kept secret. On July 12, 1944, just a month after the landings, he suffered a heart attack during the night and died within the hour. As a twist of fate, General Bradley had selected him for promotion to major general and commander of the 90th Infantry Division (the unit suffered from serious leadership problems among its ranks) earlier that day and Eisenhower was to call in the morning to approve the recommendations. He was buried in the temporary military cemetery in Sainte-Mère-Église. His funeral procession was led by a group of generals, including Bradley, Patton and Barton. The photos of the funeral were taken by Private First Class Sidney Gutelewitz who, at the time, did not know whose funeral it was. He realized what he had photographed when, several years later, he contacted the Department of Defense to ask about it.

Today, he’s buried at the Normandy American Cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach (Plot D, Row 28, Grave 45), next to his brother Quentin, the WWI pilot, who was reinterred there in 1955 upon the request of his family, making him the only soldier resting there who did not die in the Normandy campaign. Since Theodore was about to be appointed as commander of the 90th Infantry Division at the time of his death, there is no indication of a division on his grave marker. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, thus becoming the first one to earn it in the 4th Infantry Division. In 2001, his father was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in the Spanish-American War. In addition to Arthur and Douglas McArthur, they are the only father and son to each be awarded a Medal of Honor.
Teddy’s Medal of Honor citation is as follows:
“For gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty on 6 June 1944, in France. After two verbal requests to accompany the leading assault elements in the Normandy invasion had been denied, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt’s written request for this mission was approved and he landed with the first wave of the forces assaulting the enemy-held beaches. He repeatedly led groups from the beach, over the seawall and established them inland. His valor, courage, and presence in the very front of the attack and his complete unconcern at being under heavy fire inspired the troops to heights of enthusiasm and self-sacrifice. Although the enemy had the beach under constant direct fire, Brig. Gen. Roosevelt moved from one locality to another, rallying men around him, directed and personally led them against the enemy. Under his seasoned, precise, calm, and unfaltering leadership, assault troops reduced beach strong points and rapidly moved inland with minimum casualties. He thus contributed substantially to the successful establishment of the beachhead in France.”

(16) And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
New King James Version Change your email Bible version
David, one of ancient Israel’s greatest kings, was well aware that the physical kingdom of Israel was only a type of the Kingdom God would establish long after he was dead. He clearly understood that there were two God beings and that one of them – the One who became the Son – will become the King over the earth and all of its inhabitants. Notice how Psalm 2:6-8, which David authored, begins to reveal this: “‘Yet I have set My King on My holy hill of Zion.’ ‘I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ask of Me and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession.”‘”
Many more verses support this thought:
» “The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations have perished out of His land.” (Psalm 10:16)
» “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations shall worship before You. For the kingdom is the LORD’S, and He rules over the nations.” (Psalm 22:27-28)
» “The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood. And the LORDsits as King forever.” (Psalm 29:10)
» “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.” (Psalm 45:6)
» “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.” (Psalm 145:13)
Isaiah 9:6-7, the wonderful prophecy regarding Christ, reads:
For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
As early as Genesis 17:6, God began promising that royal offspring would come from Abraham: “I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you.” This does not specifically designate the King of kings, but when combined with other promises, we can rightfully include this verse among those that prophesy of Him. In Genesis 49:10, God prophesies through Jacob that the scepter (kingship) shall not depart from Judah’s line. Jesus‘ ancestry (Matthew 1:1-17; Luke 3:23-38) goes directly back to David then back to Judah and thus to Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, to whom the promises were given (Galatians 3:26-29).
At the time of Jesus’ first coming, the Jews were looking for a Messiah to rescue them from their downtrodden state. Though they were well aware of the Old Testament prophecies, they had made an incorrect interpretation: They were looking for a powerful, conquering king. When He came, He was indeed powerful, but He was powerful spiritually. The Jews misinterpretation blinded them to the reality of where His power lay and how their downtrodden condition would be relieved.
The majority of the Jewish leadership overlooked such prophecies as Zechariah 9:9: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.” They completely overlooked the detailed prophecy of Psalm 22, which foretells of His crucifixion at the hands of cruel persecutors. They bypassed Isaiah 52-53, which reveals that He would die a horrible, disfiguring death while shedding His blood for the sins of His people. He indeed was the much-awaited Messiah/King, but for the establishment of His Kingdom, the wait would be much longer.
When He was crucified, the inscription over His head read that He was “King of the Jews.” Yet, when asked just a few hours earlier by Pilate if He was a King (John 18:33), Jesus had replied, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here” (verse 36).
It will be established. We are much closer to that time than they were then. At His coming, Revelation 19:16proclaims, “And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: King of kings AND LORD OF LORDS.”
