Adoniram Judson

When we last night ordained Ngun Iap, Pastor of our Burmese church, I
felt myself caught up in history, suddenly living in the train of
Adoniram Judson.


I realized I was seeing fleshed out what can happen as a result of
laboring in an unreached people group. Judson labored for years
before winning one convert. But now, 200 years later, over 80% of
Burma's Chin people are Christians.


Pastor Ngun says Judson is their hero, and they consider the USA their
motherland, because we sent the Gospel to Burma.


Hopefully a similar day of triumph will be celebrated among our UPG,
the Bells of China. We adopted them in 1997. The latest estimate is
that 600 Bells are now Christ-followers.
