Eight Men, Three Rafts, One Miracle: The Story of Eddie Rickenbaker

In 1942, Eddie Rickenbacker’s plane vanished over the Pacific Ocean. What followed was a desperate twenty-four-day struggle for survival as eight men drifted in small life rafts with almost no food, little water, and no certainty they would be found. Yet amid hunger, storms, and fading strength, prayer became their lifeline.

This remarkable true story recounts how God provided in unexpected ways—including a bird that landed at just the right moment and rain that arrived when all hope seemed lost. Join America Pray Now Prayer Partner, Lise Pampaloni, as she explores one of America’s most extraordinary wartime testimonies and what it teaches us about trusting God when human strength reaches its end.
