Recognizing that Jesus Christ was the missionary sent by the Father, men like Henry Martyn, John G. Paton, John Eliot, David Brainerd and William Chalmers Burns left home, family and love for the sake of Christ and to spread his good news. The narratives of their monumental labours and sufferings and their strong longings to see Christ glorified in the salvation of the nations make awe-inspiring and God-honouring reading. Five Pioneer Missionaries tells the story of each of these servants of God. In doing so it not only outlines some of the great biblical principles of missions, but also challenges Christians today to live lives completely dedicated to serving Jesus Christ wherever he calls us to go.  aEvangelical -- Mission History  aMissions -- 20th century  aMissionaries -- Biography4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16661/16.jpgyCover Image
