Faithful Christian soldiers who went before us are living examples of a deeper walk with God. Through old Christian books, battlefield letters, war memoirs, and devotionals—many recently uncovered through rare archive access—we now hear the voices of soldiers who walked closely with Christ in war. Their lives speak with fresh clarity, offering courage, wisdom, and steadfast examples to men seeking to walk faithfully with Jesus today.
The goal of ChristianSoldier.art is to connect Christian soldiers from past generations with men of today—so that together, they can inspire the next generation to walk a deeper Christian life and change the world for Christ. The images of these soldiers have been thoughtfully created using military portraits, war records, and firsthand accounts found in journals, dispatches, and memoirs—offering a glimpse of what they may have truly looked like.
John Wesley (1703–1791) once said, “Give me one hundred men who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; they alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven upon earth.”
We believe God is doing just that—reviving the stories of faithful soldiers from the past, some widely known and others hidden in war journals, to strengthen and steady men in this generation.
With today’s explosion of knowledge—through AI and digitized archives—these powerful, real-life stories are being rediscovered. Men who knelt in foxholes, preached in trenches, carried Bibles into combat, and prayed with the dying are once again speaking into our lives.
They were real men, just like you—who marched, served, bled, led, wept, and believed.
They faced many of the same battles men face today—both physical and spiritual.
And their voices still speak—humbly, powerfully—into the lives of today’s Christian men.
Step into their stories.
Let their strength shape yours.
Let their legacy lead you deeper.
These men came from every corner of the military:
- Roman centurions and medieval knights
- Civil War chaplains and frontline preachers
- WWI trench pastors and WWII medics
- Combat missionaries and POW survivors
- Army sergeants and Navy commanders
- Marines who shared Scripture before battle
- Veterans who became evangelists
- Soldiers who led prayer on battlefields
- Chaplains who baptized behind enemy lines
- Warriors who turned missionaries
- Pilots who preached Christ mid-mission
- Riflemen who prayed before each step
- Medics who witnessed through care
- Sailors who sang hymns on deck
- Foreign fighters with unwavering faith
They led devotions before dawn raids, whispered prayers in bomb craters, wept with the wounded, carried crosses beside rifles, preached beside gunfire, and answered God's call—some in war, others after.
They didn’t chase survival.
They pursued the Savior.
They didn’t live for medals.
They lived for eternity.

"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write,
Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth:
Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours;
and their works do follow them."
