The Seven Year Convert

Thursday, June 13, 2024

Adoniram Judson turned down pastoring a large church in Boston for the mission field in India. He arrived in Calcutta in 1812 filled with zeal to preach to the peoples, but the British government gave orders to leave the country immediately. He returned the following June, but once more was ordered to leave. With a heavy heart, Judson fled to Rangoon, a place he hated and ended up being imprisoned in. But Judson stayed and began a mission there. When no one responded, he struggled against severe discouragement. Finally, after seven years his first convert was a criminal of the Karen people. Through this man, the Gospel came to the Karen peoples, and through them to the Kachin peoples. Within 90 years, more than 250,000 people came to the Lord because of Judson's faithfulness and perseverance. Most people would have given up. Had Judson done that, he would have quit before the greatest of miracles. Don't miss your miracle! Even when every door is closed, every plan and dream has been crushed or thwarted, serve the Lord with gladness, faithfulness and perseverance, and you too, will find your miracle.
