William Carey (1761-1834) one of the first great missionaries.
Carey used to go to a world globe and weep for the souls in India. God led him to India
and he did a great work. A good book is called:

by George Smith C.I.E., LL.D.

These are the most heart-warming stories about how God works in the lives of children ever. If you can read the

John G. Paton
- Missionary to the New Hebrides (1824-1907)
You never read anything like it – Hollywood can’t touch it for action and life threatening situation.
John Paton got a burden for the cannibals of New Hebrides in the mid 1800’s – yes,
they ate people and just got finished eating two missionaries before he landed.
Paton endured the loss of all things including his wife and baby but he he got there
