Romans 10:14-15
During the year 1793, a young English shoemaker named William Carey stood before a gathering of Baptist ministers in Nottingham and proposed a revolutionary idea that the church must take seriously the command to bring the gospel to the nations.
One minister famously responded, Young man, sit down! When God pleases to convert the heathen, he will do it without your aid or mine.
But Cary would not sit down.
Instead, he stood up, again and again, and sailed to India that same year, igniting what we now call the modern missionary movement.
His legacy endures because he believed something many of his contemporaries had forgotten, that people cannot believe unless they hear, and they cannot hear unless someone is sent.
Romans 1.0.1.4, 1.5 is the heartbeat behind Carey's boldness and behind every faithful effort to make Christ known.
