Adoniram Judson the Great Missionary of America
Adoniram Judson, revered as the father of American missions born 1788 in Malden Massachusetts, pursued faith after a dramatic transformation from infidelity. He left Brown University with honors, joined a Plymouth church, and became a missionary to India. He endured brutal imprisonments and torture while translating the Bible into Burmese, a life marked by sacrifice, steadfast prayer, and unwavering devotion to Christ.
