We wel- come your questions regarding contributions toward our ongoing mission of equipping students to be fully developed, responsible, godly adults. The Annual Report is published by the Judson University Office of University Advancement. Letter from the President Dr. Jerry B. Cain Please read with delight this Annual Report knowing that your name is listed herein because of your faithful gifts to Judson University during the 2010-2011 school year. We are grateful for your support and want to thank you for standing with us through the Great Recession impacting our entire world. You noticed in 2008-2009 that about 40 percent of your retirement sav- ings and 40 percent of your home value disappeared into thin air. Econo- mists are still analyzing the data and comment daily on the vicissitudes of the stock market as we watch the Dow Jones Industrial Average go up and down while making little progress back to its 2008 high of 14,000. Like your home budget, Judson University has been impacted by these changes. That is why our thanks this year is so sincere in acknowledging how you have stayed with us and made your regular gifts to our mission, in spite of the economic reversals you have personally experienced. Thank you. Thank you. Judson will be a good steward of whatever resources are provided to us. If we receive five talents, two talents or only one talent, we will never bury that gift in the ground and whine about the difficulty of our situation. We will be grateful for even the widow’s mite and will work hard to expand it to meet the needs of our students. As we near the end of the calendar year for 2011, the half-way mark in the 2011-2012 school year, I am glad to report that Judson is financially stable and focused on our mission. We continue to do the work of the church in higher education without apology or compromise. I am very grateful for your generosity toward Judson knowing the future is as bright as the promises of God. Cordially, Dr. Jerry B. Cain 4 Judson University 2011 Annual Giving Report 2011 Facts and Figures These July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011 charts reflect the responsible stewardship that Judson strives for every day.

The brilliant red and orange colors of the leaves are shimmering from the cool autumn breeze, yet the rustling is muffled by the sounds of our stu- dents walking and conversing about their day. It truly is an exciting time to be a part of the Judson family. The shifting season from fall to winter brings a reminder that change is in the air. As most of you know by now, change is coming to the President’s Office at Judson University. Dr. Jerry Cain and First Lady Linda will retire June 30, 2012, and that allows for many opportunities to honor and thank them for their 14 wonderful years at Judson. Please join us in wishing them well as they embrace the glorious retirement so appropriate for two who have shown amazing dedication to advancing the mission and ministry of Judson University. For all of the prayer warriors reading this Annual Report, thank you in advance for the daily prayers you will say on behalf of the next president. There are many exciting days ahead at Judson and we believe God will bless our community by calling yet another dynamic Christian leader to our campus. Thank you again for your faithfulness to our students – many of whom would not be here without your support. You impact eternity through your kindness toward Judson University. God’s best to you and your family, Tory Gum 6 Judson University 2011 Annual Giving Report Student Story LeStan Hoskins Many college-bound students that visit Judson He has also been blessed with a great connection University notice a couple different aspects that with Dr. Burris, director of Academic Assistance. spark their interest.

  • HBU Academy – 1St Place Winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020
    HBU Academy – 1st place winner-Piece of the Past Essay Contest, 2020 A Threefold Legacy: How Adoniram Judson’s Wives Contributed to the Ministry of the Man Who First Translated the Bible for the Burmese People by Rebecca Rizzotti In a glass case in the Dunham Bible Museum sits a book, open to public eye, filled seemingly with mere curves and squiggles. To an uninformed passerby, it may appear a simple curiosity, yet there is a story of incredible suffering, perseverance, and patience behind that book. It is a Burmese Bible. Adoniram Judson, as the first missionary sent out from the United States to a foreign country and the first person to translate the Bible into Burmese, is a well-known figure in the annals of missions. Yet in the many biographies, narratives, and articles centering on his life and work, the lives and work of his three wives—especially the latter two—are often overlooked. Each woman contributed immensely to a different aspect of his service that was essential to success as a missionary. Ann Hasseltine Judson demonstrated an incredible spirit of self-sacrifice during her marriage to Adoniram—first in agreeing to leave her family and homeland for a future of sickness and suffering, just days after their wedding in 1812—but most especially during her husband’s twenty-one months in brutal Burmese prisons in 1824-1825, his punishment for the false charge of espionage as he ministered in Rangoon. She “saved Judson’s life during the prison years… several times…Ann loved him fiercely, unreservedly, even to the point of giving her life for him.

Emily Chubbuck Judson, herself (as portrayed by actor Carol Anderson of Acts of Renewal), will begin the evening, followed by a lecture on “The Romances of Emily Judson” by Dr. George Tooze. Famous for her writing career under the pen name “Fanny Forester,” Emily became even more famous as the third wife of the twice- widowed missionary Adoniram Judson. Dr. Tooze is the editor of The Life and Letters of Emily Chubbuck Judson, published by Mercer University Press. Open to the public, this event will be held at Mercer University’s Atlanta Administration & Conference Center (2930 Flowers Rd S., Atlanta, 30414). Why Is This Such a Big Deal? The Judsons—Adoniram and Ann, his first wife, who were sent in 1812 as Congregational missionaries, but became Baptists on the ocean voyage, his second wife, Sarah Hall Boardman Judson, whose first husband died in Burma, and Emily—are credited as pioneers of the modern missionary movement. In Burma (now Myanmar), Judson is celebrated as the author of the first Burmese dictionary, still in use today. “Back in the U.S., Adoniram and Ann were as famous as rock stars today,” said Dr. Deborah B. Van Broekhoven, executive director of the Historical Society.

  • Adoniram & Ann Judson: Did You Know?
    Issue 90: Adoniram & Ann Judson: American Mission Pioneers Adoniram & Ann Judson: Did You Know? Interesting and little-known facts about the Judsons and other early American missionaries. Compiled by Rebecca Golossanov Larger than life Missionary memoirs and biographies (often full of illustrations like the one to the left) gained huge popularity during the 19th century, inspiring young people to become missionaries and motivating Christians at home to pray for and give money to the missions cause. One biography of Adoniram Judson, published in 1853 by Francis Wayland, sold 26,000 copies in the first year alone. The most famous biography of Ann Judson appeared in a new edition almost every year from 1830 to 1856. Unitarian Lydia Maria Child described it as "a book so universally known that it scarcely need be mentioned." To the present, there have been at least 56 biographies of Adoniram published and at least 16 of Ann, including biographies for children. Though over the years the facts grew more and more embellished, the stories surrounding the Judsons' lives became as much a part of the landscape of American missions as the Judsons' own accomplishments. Being like Brainerd He made only a handful of converts in five years of evangelizing among the Native Americans. He died of tuberculosis at age 29. But for 19th-century Christians, David Brainerd (1718-1747) was the ideal missionary and a model of "disinterested benevolence," the sacrificing of self for the sake of others. Jonathan Edwards's 1749 biography, The Life and Diary of David Brainerd, became a spiritual classic motivating countless young Americans to become missionaries themselves.
