William Carey

dedicated ministers came out of this work including Henry Martyn. Henry was a friend of William Wilberforce and John Newton. He wanted to go to India as a missionary but the nation was closed to religious outsiders yet not to foreign businessmen. By joining the East India Company, he was given a regular salary and an opportunity to evangelize abroad. (Wilson, 28-29) In 1727 God poured out his spirit in answer to prayer on the Moravians who were gathered at Herrnhut, in what is now East Germany. This answered prayer resulted in a revival that created a missionary awakening among the Moravian people. Through Count Zinzendorf the Moravians discovered a great need for missionaries in the West Indies. Immediately two artisans’ volunteered, Leonhard Dober and David Nitschmaun, and by 1732 they arrived in the West Indies as self-supporting missionaries. Thus began the significant spiritual movement under which the Moravians “were called to shoulder their artisan’s tools and follow the Lamb in a mission to the world.” In response to this call the Moravians would also send missionaries to Labrador and Surinam, where they conducted thriving businesses creating great opportunities for Christian witness. (Wilson, 29-31) In 1794 William Carey became a missionary to India. Next to the Apostle Paul William Carey was probably the greatest self-supporting missionary who ever lived. While in India William Carey not only planted churches, medical clinics, and missions compounds, but counted…

Olney was a stronghold of the Particular Baptists, the group that Carey associated himself with after his baptism on October 5, 1783. Two years later he moved to Moulton to become a schoolmaster and after a…

Before entering secondary school, Nick left Charlotte and was no more required…

Sympathy For Living, From The Dead To our knowledge the modern zombie has no consciousness, it’s somewhere in between alive and dead, walking around with a need to feed on human flesh with no parallel to the person the body used to belong to. Mike Carey’s zombie is much different, Nick is essentially still conscious but no longer eats, breaths or sleeps and his existence is basically meaningless. The story revels how this man, a stockbroker with no sense of community or companionship finds…
