A Contender

I'm still thinking about searching for a "historical hero" (see my previous post). But I may have a contender. Yesterday, I listened to John Piper deliver an biographical message on the life of Adoniram Judson. It was so moving that I actually wept in my car. Judson lived a painful missionary life in Burma (present day Myanmar), but God designed and used his sufferings to plant a healthy, fruit-bearing church in what was a godless and hostile soil. Praise Him!
