Ten Who Changed the WorldĀ is seminary president Daniel Akinās powerful tribute to the transformational work done by some truly inspiring Christian missionaries. With each profile, he journeys into the heart of that gospel servantās mission-minded story and makes a compelling connection to a similar account from the Bible.
David BrainerdĀ (1718-1747; missionary to Native Americans) reminds Akin of Paulās missionary life in 2 Timothy. The faithful ministry ofĀ George LeileĀ (1750-1820; missionary to Jamaica) is aligned with Galatians 6.
William CareyĀ (1761-1834; missionary to India) lives out the Great Commission of Matthew 28. There are parallels betweenĀ Adoniram JudsonĀ (1788-1850; missionary to Burma) and Romans 8.
Lottie MoonĀ (1840-1912; missionary to China) displays the power of a consecrated life described in Romans 12. The work ofĀ James FraserĀ (1886-1938; missionary to China) illustrates Revelation 5.Ā Eric LiddellĀ (1902-1945; missionary to China), his life documented in the filmĀ Chariots of Fire, illuminates Hebrews 12.
Together,Ā JohnĀ (1907-1934) andĀ Betty StamĀ (1906-1934; missionaries to China) embodied Psalm 67.Ā William WallaceĀ (1908-1951; missionary to China) was a shining example of Philippians 1.Ā Jim ElliotĀ (1927-1956; missionary to Ecuador) is a bold reminder of Psalm 96.
