April 30. Scott Rider. Scott is married to Tess, and they have four children. Together they've been through battles none of us would wish on our worst enemies.

Serious illness can tear a family apart, but […] The post Scott Rider, US, Information Technologist first appeared on 365 Christian Men...

April 29. Vasily Dimitrievich Zhomiruk. Vasily was of one of the richest men this earth has ever known. You haven't heard of him? By the end of today's story, you might forget his name. And that's the way he would want it. Vasily never asked to have his story told. "I don't want to take […] The post Vasily Dimitrievich Zhomiruk, Russia, Pastor first appeared on 365 Christian Men .

April 28. Christmas Evans. It was 1766 in Wales. Evans got his first name—you guessed it—because he was born Christmas day. And—once he was old enough to help on a farm—he probably didn't get teased about his name, since it's said he stood seven feet tall. He taught himself to read Welsh and English. With […] The post Christmas Evans, Welsh Minister first appeared on 365 Christian Men .

April 23. Sam Walton. Walton opened his first retail store in 1945. Not a Wal-Mart or a Sam's Club. It was the first Ben Franklin, which grew to a 15-store franchise.

April 13. George Frideric Handel. Handel wrote operas, large-scale choral works, church music, and oratorios—large-scale musical works for orchestra and voices often with religious theme.
