Christian History Magazine—Issue 36: William Carey: 19th c. Missionary to India
Overview
“Expect great things from God! Attempt great things for God!” Undereducated, under-funded, and underestimated, William Carey overcame a plethora of tribulations and mastered dozens of languages to bring the gospel message to India. Disease plagued his family, poverty never left him, and it was nearly a decade before the Hindi population began to show signs of acceptance—yet his ability to plod ahead and boldly pursue his ministry vision make this issue of Christian History & Biography an informative and inspiring read.

Top Highlights
“William Carey’s most impressive achievement, though, is his single-minded perseverance.” (source)
“‘I can plod,’ he wrote toward the end of his life, ‘I can persevere in any definite pursuit. To this I owe everything.’” (source)
“ Oh what would I give for a kind sympathetic friend, such as I had in England, to whom I might open my heart!’” (source)
“From a neighbor he borrowed a Greek grammar and glossary and soon taught himself Greek.” (source)
“Carey was devastated. ‘I am in a strange land,’ he wrote, ‘alone, no Christian friend, a large family, and nothing to supply their wants.’ And bitter: ‘I blame Mr. T. for leading me into such expense.’ And remorseful: ‘And I blame myself for being so led.’” (source)
