QUOTE (William Carey) – Jan 2
January 2, 2014“You have been speaking about William Carey. When I am gone, say nothing about William Carey-speak only about William Carey’s Savior.”
~ William Carey
In honor of William Carey, known as the “father of modern missions”, who, along with 11 other Baptist pastors formed the Particular Baptist Society for Propagating the Gospel among the Heathen (catchy title) on this day in 1792.

I love reading about his biography and how the Lord used him to advance the Gospel and also the great “side effect” of the Gospel upon India culturally.
It was Carey, I believe, who inspired America’s first great missionary, Adoniram Judson.
I was not aware of that. Thanks for the comment.
God Bless!
