Miracle on Hacksaw Ridge - The Desmond Doss Story - It Is Written Oceania with Pr Gary Kent

Desmond Doss was one of 16 million American men in uniform during World War II. As a soldier he refused to kill or carry a weapon into combat because of his personal belief as a Seventh-day Adventist. In fact, during the war his only weapons were his Bible and his faith in God. Desmond Doss stood boldly on the rocky face of Hacksaw Ridge secure in his faith as the cries “medic“ rang out on the battlefield. He repeatedly ran into the heat of battle to treat the fallen comrades and carry them back to safety never considering his own safety. All this while enemy bullets whizzed past and mortar shells exploded around him. He kept charging back towards the battle with a constant prayer on his lips. He vowed to rescue as many as he could, before he either collapsed or died trying. His iron determination and unflagging courage resulted in at least 75 lives saved on 5 May 1945.
