For episode 29 of the "50 Baptist You Should Know" Series, we will discuss the Congregationalist-turned-Baptist missionary, Adoniram Judson.

While in Burma, war with Britain would put him in prison, where his wife, Ann sacrificed to feed and take care of him.  He was released when the Burmese needed a translator, but the effects of the situation on his wife and child would take their lives.

Judson married Sarah Bordman who would pass away while on the ship headed back to England.

His third wife Emily would challenge New England to continue his legacy for missions after his death in 1850.

Judson finished translating the Bible into the Burmese language, including the prerequisite of having to write down their language in a dictionary.  He paved the way for an astounding 3,700 Baptist churches in Myanmar today!

Sinking in the Mire

Jeremiah 38

Opening thought: The prophet Jeremiah had been obedient to the call of God upon his life. He had been faithful to preach the message that God wanted him to preach and now Jeremiah finds himself standing in the bottom of a pit looking up at the blue sky overhead wondering where he had gone wrong. Have you ever been there? The bottom of a pit, looking up, sinking in mire wondering how your world had fallen out from beneath you?

Stress Test

By Deborah Ann

Today God gave me,

a spiritual stress test

to see if my soul . . .

could remain at rest.

So He sent to me,

a hand-wringing situation

to see if my heart . . .

could handle the agitation.

He wanted to know,

how I would proceed

whether if to the strain

I’d win or would concede.

It took all of His strength,

for me not to succumb

for I knew I could trust Him

with the power to overcome.

Today God sent to me,

a test that was stressing

but I’m happy to say . . .

I’m patiently resting!
