Crossfire

Saved from the clutches of Al Capone's mob, Chuck Svoboda soon received salvation from Jesus Christ during open air meetings at Cicero Bible Church, IL. His marriage shortly afterwards was only eight weeks old when the orders to World War II came calling. Svoboda endured the torturous experience of Anzio Beach before heading to Rome and then France. War experiences strengthened his faith in Christ, so much so that he entered Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music upon his return. His passion for Christ led him to conduct Bible studies in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Michigan, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles to the next study the following day. Many of these groups went on to become thriving Bible churches. Gifted with a unique speaking style, given to humor, and possessing an impeccable discernment, Chuck Svoboda quickly became a resource to churches and other ministries who experienced difficutlies. He formed Bible Related Ministries and continued the work there past his retirement in 2011 until his death in 2014. He will always be remembered for his quick wit and love of God and man.
