Fearlessly Devoted

This book, "Fearlessly Devoted, A Devotional for Soldiers of the King of Kings," is 40 days of soul stirring devotions to encourage, challenge, and assure disciples of the King. The author, Ken Shirkey, is married to Martha and is the grandfather of sixteen wonderful grandchildren who know and love the Lord. Ken received a midlife call to mission in 1985. Two things burned in his heart: nations and leaders. This call was not to a specific nation or people, but to see every tongue, tribe, people, and nation alive with Christ. Leaders were the key to see viable church movements and the cry for oh leaders was always among the top five needs listed in every targeted people.

Ken entered full-time mission service in 1989 working with the U.S. Center for World Mission to mobilize churches for mission especially to unreached peoples. In 2002 Ken and Martha formed the Gateway Center for World Mission with the expressed purpose of training leaders in the nations. Since then the Lord has opened the door to impact leaders in fourteen nations.

Paul writes in 2 Tim. 2:2:

And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

The Lord showed him a key principle in training leaders is the reality that "You Replicate Who You Are." There has been an abundance of teaching from the western church, but many have settled for being students of knowledge instead of living disciples.
