David Eubank calls himself a missionary soldier. A former US Special Forces soldier, he鈥檚 now an ordained Christian Reverend and founder of the Free Burma Rangers, a humanitarian group working in some of the world鈥檚 most dangerous conflict zones.

He prays before missions, runs towards gunfire, rescues the wounded, and says love is what keeps him there. But David's story is also morally complicated. He has carried dying children from battlefields. He has watched friends and colleagues die. And he has killed.

Rajeev Gupta speaks to David about what it means to follow Jesus in a firefight. David reflects on his upbringing as a missionary child in Thailand, his years in the US military, and the call that took him into Burma鈥檚 long-running civil war.

He describes the moments when his faith and a desire for revenge came into conflict. But how does David know he is on the right side? And how does he keep believing in God after seeing so much suffering?
