- [Presenter] When dangerand difficulties come,

do you tackle them head on or run away?

Our next guest runs directlyinto the center of danger.

He's a missionary, former U.S.Army Ranger, David Eubank.

20 years ago he foundeda mission organization

called the Free Burma Rangers.

The group has helped ethnic people

under siege by the Burmese military,

providing relief and medical treatment

all in the name of Christ.

More recently, FBR worked in Iraq

during the battle to liberateMosul from ISIS jihadists.

You may remember CBNNews showing you Eubank

dodging gunfire carrying alittle Iraqi girl to safety.

Well now, FBR is working in Syria

helping people under siege there.

A new documentary filmabout the Free Burma Rangers

is out any day now and hereto tell us more from Syria

is David Eubank.

Dave, good to see you.

For those who aren't familiarwith the Free Burma Rangers,

how did you get started20 years ago and why?

- I was in the military and I got out

and had just started Fuller Seminary,

had just met my wife-to-bewho refused to date me,

and in the middle of all that,

a tribe from Burma, called the Wa tribe,

contacted my parents,who were missionaries

in Thailand, next door,

and said, "Please sendsomeone to help us."

And when they came to myparents' house from Burma,

and Burma's 70 yearsin civil war right now,

and came and said...

They saw a picture of mewith a green beret from,

'cause after I was in Rangers,I was in Special Forces,

and they said, "That man's a warrior.

"We need Jesus and weare a warrior people.

"Send him."

So we started the Free BurmaRangers by name in 1997,

about 22 years ago, butit's actually been going

since about 26 years, since 1993.

And then, in the last fiveyears we've been involved also

in Iraq, Kurdistan, and Syria.

- [Presenter] And David,it's not just providing

medical treatment to the wounded

and injured and material relief.

Tell us about the importanceof sharing your faith

with those you help.

- Well, the most importantthing I want to be

and do is an ambassador for Jesus.

And I share with everyone I can meet,

like just today with peoplewho fled Idlib, in Syria.

Ask Jesus to help you, he's real.

He's supernaturally real.

He'll help you, call on his name.

And we gave them ArabicBibles and I prayed with them.

I think my faith is weak,

so I don't want to sharemy faith 'cause it is weak.

But I can share my convictionand my encouragement

to say, "Ask Jesus to help you.

"He's gonna do it."

And he's made the possible impossible.

In my own life, I'm nota very creative person,

but following him, he'shelped me do new things.

- [Presenter] David, the movie is out in

select theaters as a FathomEvent, February 24th and 25th.

Tell us about the film, why was it done,

what will people see?

- Well, at about our 20 year part,

point of the Freedom Rangers,

and by then we had teamsin Burma, and we'd been,

we hadn't gone to Sudan yet,

or Iraq yet, we'd been in Burma.

I'd just had this growingfeeling, I wanted to thank God,

I wanted to thank people who helped us,

and show them what would even,

it just welled up insideme, it reminded me

of the ten blind peoplethat, you know, by Jesus,

the one came back and said thank you,

it just came up, and I thought,

this is the time to share the story.

And I remembered I wastalking to a filmmaker,

friend of mine, Chris Sinclair, in Burma,

in the jungle, he was theredoing another project, with us.

And I said, I'm gonna make a film,

it'll be horrible if I make it,

but I will have done my part.

And Chris Sinclair, whomade this current movie,

said, "I'll do it, pro-bono."

OK, and we prayed.

And we wanted it to tell the story,

what had got done, throughus and in spite of us.

Who are the beautifulpeople all over the world,

every culture and tribe,

and race and religion, that God made.

They're awesome, get to know them.

We wanted to show themiracles God has done,

again, through, weimperfect, simple people,

like us and our friends,

and there's no other kind that I know of.

THere's a lot better people than us,

but even the best people are not perfect.

But God uses us anyway.

You don't have to give up.

And I want people to seethat Karen people of Burma,

the other people of Burma, as we see them,

lovely, wonderful people,

deserving to be free, weshould stand with them.

I want them to see, theRakhines as I've learned

are wonderful people,they're not our enemies.

And to see how God brings us together,

my mom says that she's been a missionary,

most her life, she's 87,been in the field 60 years,

my dad's 90, he's still in the field,

I think you know them,Howell and Jen Eubank.

My mom said, "Dave, God hasfriends all over the world,

"and he likes them to meet each other."

So I hope this movie does that as well.

- [Presenter] Okay,it'll bring us together.

The "Free Burma Rangers"documentary is out

in select theaters February 24th and 25th.

David I guess people can check online

for a showing close tothem, is that correct?

- Yes, you can look atwww.freeburmarangers.org

or free FBR movie, and you probably think

I'm pretty illiterate, and Imostly am, I went to Texas A&M.

But we're writing a book called,

"The Free Burma Rangersand the battle of Mosul",

that's the subtitle, the main title is

"Do this for love".

And that'll come out laterthis summer, as well,

I'll tell you more about that, later,

when we actually finish it.

But it will be out thesummer after the movie.

And both of them tellingslightly diffferent stories

about what we've seen,and what has God done.

- [Presenter] Okay,coming to us from Syria,

David Eubank, of the Free Burma Ranges,

thanks Dave, for your time.
