Adoniram Judson
today i was at a YFC session. the speaker was very interesting... he shared with us the life of Adoniram Judson. Adoniram Judson was the first foreign missionary in America. He went to Burma to do the Lord's work. after 23 years in Burma, he finally completed the Burmese Bible! throughout his stay there, he had to experience the deaths of his wives(1st and 2nd), children(many of them), missionary friends and father. He was even jailed for 2 years because the people there assumed that all foreigners were spies. he went through many hardships. but yet, he still persevered and continued in his ministry. if he were here today, i'm sure he'll say that everything he went through was worth it. 48 years after he set foot in Burma, he died. Because of his example and the foundation he laid, when he died, there were 7000 burmese believers! i admire his perseverance and devotion to God... He constantly looked to God for strength and he was faithful to God all the way. he went through so much but never once said to God, "I give up!" that's something i've got to learn. =)
help me to trust.
