The Story of William Carey
He sailed in 1793 to India with a reluctant wife and four children to bring the message of Jesus. There he encountered so much hardship it is amazing he didn't abandon his mission and go home. But he stayed for over 40 years.
He oversaw more translations of the Bible than had been done in all previous Christian history combined. Life was never easy for Carey, but he simply refused to quit, even when a devastating fire destroyed years of his literary work. One issue that tormented him was sati, the burning alive of widows when their husbands died. He would not rest until this practice was stopped. Facing insurmountable odds, he “plodded” on to influence the abolition of sati and to become the revered “Friend of India” and “Father of Modern Missions.”
Carey’s legacy has inspired countless others from his own day to the present. His story shows dramatically how a life dedicated to God and obedient to His calling can make a profound difference in the world.
