Success of Missions
Mark 16:15
And he said to them, Go you into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


Carey and his compeers, the first English Baptist missionaries, laboured seven years before the first Hindoo convert was baptized. Judson toiled on for years without any fruit of his labour, until the few churches in this land which sustained him began to be disheartened. He wrote, "Beg the churches to have patience. If a ship were here to carry me to any part of the world, I would not leave my field. Tell the brethren success is as certain as the promise of a faithful God can make it." The mission was commenced in 1814. In 1870 there were more than a hundred thousand converts.
