Then he adds this: “Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for How There Few Are Who Die So Hard eternal life” (John 12:25). In other words, a fruitful life and an eternal life come from this: dying like a seed and hating your life in this world. What overwhelms me, as I ponder this and trace the life of Adoniram Judson, America’s first foreign missionary, is how strategic it was that he “died” so many times and in so many ways.

  • Haystack Prayer Meeting
    Haystack Prayer Meeting ‘We can do this, if we will!’ (SJ Mills) At the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the institution of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission (ABCFM) at Bradford, Massachusetts, Dr. Samuel M. Worcester summarized very concisely the situation which existed during the pioneer days in America. He wrote: The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, which fifty years ago this day was instituted at Bradford, had its origin neither in Bradford, nor Andover, nor Williamstown, nor any other single locality, but in the revivals at the end of the eighteenth, and the beginning of the nineteenth century. It was but an embodiment and expression of the missionary spirit, which was then witnessing itself in public and private supplications, and in other modes, as seldom or never before, since the days of the Fathers of New England. (Worcester; The Haystack Centennial)) During the latter part of the eighteenth and the early part of the nineteenth century several missionary societies were formed in the United States. As early as 1796 the Baptists organized a missionary society for carrying on work in the State of New York. The Connecticut Missionary Society was instituted in 1798 and the Massachusetts Missionary Society in 1799. In 1802, the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society was organized.) In 1804, the Massachusetts Missionary Society amended its constitution so as to embrace work in foreign parts, - ‘through the more distant regions of the earth, as circumstances shall invite and the ability of the society shall admit.’ The Synod of Pittsburg instituted the ‘Western Missionary Society’ in 1802 and carried out an extensive work on the frontiers.

  • The Significance of February 1812 to North American Missions
    CELEBRATING 200 YEARS OF MISSION SOCIETY SENDING 1812-2012 The Signifi cance of February 1812 to North American Missions In the midst of a snowstorm on February 6, 1812, fi ve young men (with one wife and one fi ancée) were commissioned for foreign missionary service at the Tabernacle Church in Salem MA. Th e town of Salem was chosen because the ship Caravan was sitting at dock ready to depart any moment for Calcutta, and two missionary couples had booked passage on it. Th e date, in the depth of a cold New England winter, was chosen because the British were threatening an immediate blockade of the harbor as the outset of “Th e War of 1812” loomed. When the Judsons and Newells sailed out of Salem on February 19, and the others from Philadelphia a week later, they not only launched themselves from the shores of North America, they also launched North America into the world of foreign missions. Many others would follow – a trickle at fi rst – and then a groundswell of individuals, agencies and churches culminating in a grand array of North American missionaries that would collectively become the largest missionary force in the world today.

  • Summary of Charlotte White's Untold Story
    Summary of Charlotte White’s Untold Story Charlotte Hazen Atlee (1782 – 1863) was born in Lancaster, PA into an Episcopalian family. Her father was a PA Supreme Court judge. Charlotte became an orphan when she was eleven. She was likely sent to live with her oldest sister in Rutland, MA. Later she met and married Nathaniel White, a merchant in Rutland. They had one son. Her husband died four months after the baby’s birth. The baby died five months later. Widowed and childless, Charlotte moved to Haverhill, MA. In 1806 she came to faith in Jesus, was baptized in the MerrimacK River and joined Haverhill’s Baptist Church. My book tells about the Congregationalists and Baptists in and around Haverhill and especially their growing interest in foreign mission. Not incidentally, Harriet Atwood lived in Haverhill and Ann Hasseltine lived just across the MerrimacK River in Bradford. In 1812 Ann married Adoniram Judson and Harriet married Samuel Newell. Shortly after the weddings, the Congregationalists ordained Judson and Newell, along with Luther Rice, Gordon Hall and Samuel Nott and appointed them as missionaries. They did not appoint their wives. In February 1812 the Judsons and Newells sailed for India from Salem, MA while Rice, Gordon and Nott sailed from Philadelphia. As is well Known, the Judsons and Luther Rice came to a Baptist understanding of baptism and were immersed by William Ward, a British Baptist missionary worKing with William Carey in India. The Americans were not allowed to remain in India. The Judsons eventually got to Burma to join William Carey’s son FeliX in his mission worK.
