More about the Spiritual Battle ...
Ed “Doc” Pepping was a medic with Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division – a World War II unit whose story was told and made famous in the HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers.” Pepping was awarded the Bronze Star for his bravery and valor under fire while attempting to rescue a “brother” on June 7, 1944, one day after D-Day. Pepping recently was honored with a Band of Brothers’ Ministry Ring in recognition of his courage and valor for now engaging in the battle with Christ. He recently shared with this ministry his thoughts about what we are doing:
 Quote of Ed Pepping:
“I love what you guys are doing with the Band of Brothers’ Ministry. You are helping to uncover the veil that sometimes blinds men from seeing that there is a great battle raging all around us! This world is facing a tremendous spiritual battle. Unfortunately, many men and their families are being taken out by this war! We all are being attacked today with enemy fire that is just as real as it was on D-Day, June 6, 1944, the day we invaded Normandy. But God is up to something in this generation – for such a time as this! And the enemy does not like it. We are under a massive assault and we need sold-out Christian men who are willing to accept the call of Christ to "come and be my disciples." Lt. Richard Winters was a great leader of our “Easy Company,” but in this war we will follow Jesus Christ - the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. So unlike the odds facing us in WWII, with this spiritual war if we follow our King ultimate victory is certain. Yet the angels in heaven and a great cloud of witnesses are watching with great anticipation to see who will be a part of the victory celebration by being willing to follow Christ – no matter the cost! I can tell you this, the men who fought with Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, were willing to lay down their lives for their brothers. And many in our band had to pay the ultimate sacrifice. But I believe all who fought with us were glad they did not miss out on the opportunity to fight for each other and for the freedom of our country. We were honored to serve! My prayer for this Men's Ministry is that men throughout the world will realize that they do not want to miss out on the opportunity to help “set the captives free!” Let all Christian men everywhere unite as we accept the call of Christ, and let’s not miss out on a life and legacy that will echo throughout eternity!”
