William Carey | England, Missionary to India

March 11. William Carey, England, Missionary to India. Carey grew up poor, with a meager education. But after he was converted, his thirst for education was so great that he mastered Latin grammar in six weeks, French and Dutch in three weeks each, and quickly learned Greek and Hebrew. Eventually, Carey earned the title of Doctor and became a professor at the first British college in Calcutta.

Carey longed to take the gospel where people had never heard of Jesus. Education was simply a means to that end.

Carey turned over his ability with languages to God and became known as “the father of modern missions.” In spite of opposition at home (from churches in England and from his own wife), Carey organized a missionary society and went to India.

During the voyage from England to India, he translated the book of Genesis into the language of Bengal. During his time in India, Carey and his co-workers established the Serampore Missionary Press and translated the New Testament into twenty-three languages.

On this date in 1812, a fire blazed through that printing press. But that’s not the end of this story.

Hey y'all, I really like the idea & was encouraged by it. In all honesty, I must confess that the production value of this is quite poor. The biggest problem is the amount of typos that I read, & even some of the sentences that were spoken made no sense. Take some more time to make a better video. Thanks.
