WILLIAM CAREY - God Of All People.
When God issues a call on a man or woman’s heart, it might come in the roar of a thunderstorm or in the quiet of the night, but he or she hears His voice distinctly.
William had a growing conviction that God wanted to send Christian missionaries into a hopeless world. As he walked the English countryside in prayer, God brought Isaiah 54 to his remembrance: “Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings....Your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth. For the Lord has called you” (Isaiah 54:2, 5–6 nkjv).
The Redeemer was not just the God of England or the God of Europe! He was “the God of the whole earth,” and Carey was determined to proclaim this missionary truth! Because of Zinzendorf’s earlier missionary success, at a meeting with a small group of Baptist pastors in Kettering, England, William Carey threw down copies of the Moravian newsletter Periodical Accounts before the men and declared, “See what the Moravians have done! Can’t we Baptists at least attempt something in fealty to the same Lord?”
Yet, every time he broached the subject with Christian leaders, the reaction was always the same. “You are a miserable enthusiast,” he was rebuked. “If God wanted the heathen of the world to be saved, He would take care of it Himself. There are enough unsaved people in our own midst.”
Carey responded, “Surely God means what He says. Surely He means for us who know Him to carry the message of redemption to all men everywhere!”
In spite of the church’s objections, William sat down to write out his missionary vision. His writings grew into a booklet that he entitled An Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the Heathens. It became known simply as The Enquiry. In it, William asserted, “If it be the duty of all men, when the gospel comes, to believe unto salvation, then it is the duty of those who are entrusted with the gospel to endeavor to make it known among all nations for the obedience of faith!”
