Nameless Faceless People: The Ice Hockey Scout Who Walked Into Burma's War Zone/ David Small

He had a career most people would spend a lifetime building.Professional ice hockey coach. Director of Hockey Operations for Team Canada West. Scout for the Los Angeles Kings. A life lived in arenas, traveling the world doing work he loved.And then he walked away from all of it.Into a jungle. Into a war zone. Into one of the longest-running and least-reported conflicts on earth.David Small has spent twelve years serving in Burma, a country that has been in civil war for over seventy-five years and that the world has largely chosen not to notice. He has walked through landmine fields. Survived bombing by MiG fighter jets. Endured mortar attacks. And through all of it, he held onto one conviction that changed everything about how he made decisions.He could not be led by comfort or fear.He had to be led by love.His bestselling memoir, Nameless Faceless People: Ten Years With The Free Burma Rangers, documents everything he witnessed, the courage of the people fighting to survive inside a forgotten war, the heartbreak of a conflict the headlines ignore, and what it costs to keep showing up for people the world has decided do not matter.Today he directs the Jungle Discipleship School, a nine-month program equipping young Burmese people with spiritual, leadership, and small business skills to transform their own communities.In this episode of Beyond the Draft, David opens up about the moment he left the ice rink for the jungle. About what it does to a person to face danger repeatedly for over a decade. About the philosophy that kept him alive. About the people who gave his book its title. And about what he most wants the comfortable person quietly questioning their life to finally hear.This is not a boring episode.David Small promised us that. He kept his word.🎙️ Host: Imma📚 Guest: David Small / Author /Missionary/ Director of the Jungle Discipleship School/ Former LA Kings Scout📖 Nameless Faceless People: Ten Years With The Free Burma Rangers: Amazon and all bookstore Beyond the Draft / Where the real story begins after the writing is done.Your words have power.
