As long as there are men and women willing to give their lives for love of the gospel, no nation will be inaccessible. Adoniram Judson - America's first missionary abroad - longed to bring the Good News of salvation to the dark land of Burma. His longing was fulfilled, but at what a price. Adoniram survived starvation, imprisonment, and torture - both on land and at sea - only to witness the deaths of his loved ones.Â
Despite affliction and depression, Adoniram Judson completed what remains to this day the only translation of the Bible into the Burmese language. He was - along with his first wife, Ann - the spark that spread the fire of the gospel throughout Burma. His undeniable love for the Burmese people constitutes an irresistible and unwavering example of dedication and sacrifice.
