Adoniram Judson was a Missionary Fool

Who of us today will dare to live a life like Adoniram Judson; committing to long and laborious years of labor to reap the unknown and untargeted fields of Burma (Myanmar)?

Even William Carey advised Adoniram not to go to Burma; a hostile and utterly unreached place. But Adoniram went on anyway, in July of 1813.

The Judson's labored through 108 degree heat, cholera, malaria, dysentery and other miseries that claimed Judson's two wives and 7 of his 13 children.

Adoniram Judson was a gospel seed that died a thousand times giving life to a long and powerful advance of the gospel in Myanmar.

Lord, would you compel a 1,000 gospel fools like Judson, to forsake comfort and affluence for the true wealth of winning souls from the uttermost regions for Christ?

“We'll have all of eternity to celebrate our victories, but only a few hours before the final sunset to win them.”
