The Amish Man Who Now Preaches Christianity to Millions - Eli Yoder
Eli Yoder was born into the quiet world of the Old Order
Amish. But behind the tradition lay abuse, rejection, and
a desperate longing to be loved. At eighteen he walked
away from the only world he had ever known, carrying
decades of fear, guilt, and condemnation with him.
What followed were nineteen years of searching, addiction,
and heartbreak, including the devastating loss of his
father. But God was not finished with Eli. In 2017, through
the faithful prayers of his wife Nikki, Eli had a
life-changing encounter with Jesus that transformed
everything.
Today, Eli is known to millions as the Preaching Truck
Driver. From the cab of his truck he shared the Gospel and
his story with a combined audience of more than two million
people, pointing them away from religious oppression and
toward real freedom in Jesus Christ. This is one of the
most remarkable testimonies you will ever hear.

Caring for the Forgotten in the Most Remote Places on Earth - Aaron Santmyire
Aaron Santmyire's story is proof that when God calls, He
also equips. A nurse practitioner from the "almost heaven"
state of West Virginia, Aaron left a comfortable life to
spend the last twenty years serving in some of the most
remote and overlooked places on earth, in Burkina Faso,
Madagascar, and Kenya. He has traveled by helicopter and
mobile clinic into villages that had never seen a visitor,
cared for patients battling leprosy and rare tropical
diseases, and carried both medical care and the love of
Jesus to people the world had forgotten.
In this powerful episode of the ActsSocial Podcast, Aaron
shares what God has taught him through two decades on the
mission field, why every act of caring matters, and how
each of us, right where we are, can change the trajectory
of an uncaring world.
