THE RIGHT PARTNER FOR MINISTRY ( new wife- new life )
Hiram Bingham had made up his mind; he was ready to dedicate his life to the unsaved natives halfway around the world. But then his fiancée, Sarah Shepherd, decided that a life of service in the wild islands of the Pacific Ocean was not for her and broke off their engagement. Now what would Hiram do? The American mission board had decided that all missionaries must be
married before leaving for the field; a wife would provide companionship for his lonely work and protection from sexual temptation while he was so far from home. Where would Bingham find a wife before it was time to depart?
On September 29, 1819, the day of Hiram’s ordination in Goshen, Connecticut, he met Sybil Mosely, a young lady who stopped to ask him for directions to the ordination service. He offered to drive her there in his carriage. Along the way, they discovered their mutual desire to serve Christ on the foreign mission field. There was no time for a courtship; within days, Bingham proposed to Sybil, and, three weeks later, on October 11, 1819, they were married in Hartford, Connecticut. By the end of the month, the newlyweds, still relative strangers, began their journey to a new world together.
