Rope Burn: Suffering and The World Mission for those who Stay
Are the people who leave the comforts of home and family the only ones who suffer for the sake of The World Mission? What about those who stay? What about Andrew Fuller? A theologian who was willing to call men and women to repentance in a day when it was theologically uncouth. A pastor who was committed to cling to the truth of God’s word even when his congregation rejected it. A missionary so committed to the cause of Christ among the unreached that he would work himself to death mobilizing the church to support those who traveled abroad. It is said that upon leaving for India to preach the gospel William Carey turned turned to Fuller and others saying, “There is a rich mine of gold in India. I will venture to go down, but remember you must hold the ropes.” Fuller vowed as long as God gave him live he would not desert Carey. Andrew Fuller, a faithful missionary, pastor theologian, suffered rope burn while launching the modern missions movement. Listen as Pastor David walks us through the life of Andrew Fuller.
