CN Morning Rundown: American Icon Pat Boone Turns 88, Stars in Movie, Writes Book and Reveals How He Wrote Israel’s (Unofficial) ‘Second’ National Anthem
Here’s a quick summary of the top stories on cn.mycharisma.com:
Pat Boone turned 88 today, but instead of slowing down and enjoying retirement, he has been keeping active in many ways. He has recently starred as an old golf pro in the movie The Mulligan, he’s just written a book called If that will release in September and he’s working on a song about Jesus being Israel’s Messiah that both Jews and Christians can sing together.
“If I’m talking fast, it’s because I’m trying to relate to you the crazy myriad of things that God is giving me to do in these last hours,” Boone said in a recent interview for my podcast, The Strang Report.
Boone rose to singing stardom in the 1950s and 60s with hits like “Speedy Gonzalez” and “Love Letters in the Sand.” Since then, he has sold over 45 million records, appeared in multiple Hollywood films and authored many best-selling books including New Song, a book in which he detailed his rise to fame, his struggling personal life and his discovery of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which turned his life around.
Gen Z Evangelist Asks: Is It All Worth it, Preacher?
I have been preaching since 2013 and in full-time evangelism ministry since 2019. I was a youth pastor in a small church from 2016 to 2019, serving a small group of incredible teenagers in a tiny West Virginia community.
I have been in church for as long as I can remember, but my ministry life has been rather short. This short stint of ministry on the road has been nothing short of remarkable. I could go on for hours about the things I have seen, the connections I have made and the friends that will be in my life forever.
I often find myself asking the Lord why He would allow me to be a part of something so special. It never fails to humble me when I go back through memories of old revivals and relive the moments that birthed this kingdom assignment.
