David Small - Courage, Faith and Sacrifice
David Small's life reads like a movie script. He grew up dreaming of coaching ice hockey, worked as director of hockey operations for Team Canada West, and scouted for the Los Angeles Kings, before spending over a decade with the Free Burma Rangers in one of the world's most forgotten wars. He's walked through minefields, been bombed and mortared, and written a bestselling book, Nameless Faceless People: Ten Years with the Free Burma Rangers, about what he found on the other side of fear.
In this conversation, David talks candidly about how six months of volunteering turned into a decade of service, the difference between relief and development work, and why he stepped away from the Free Burma Rangers to found the Jungle Discipleship School, training young Burmese leaders scarred by war. He reflects on courage, grace, the fatherhood of God, and what it really means to show up for people in their darkest moments, whether that's in a jungle war zone or on a neighbour's doorstep.
