What does it mean to live a life fully surrendered to God, even at the cost of great suffering? Adoniram Judson, America's first foreign missionary, embodied this commitment with his every breath. From his early rebellion against faith to his dramatic conversion and lifelong dedication to spreading the gospel, Judson’s journey was marked by trials that would test even the strongest of wills. Yet, his unwavering resolve to serve Christ led to the translation of the Bible into Burmese and the establishment of hundreds of churches in a hostile land. Join us as we explore the life of Adoniram Judson, a man who took Jesus’ words in John 12:24 to heart: “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” Discover how his story of sacrifice and perseverance can inspire you to say, "Here am I, Lord, bury me," and live a life that bears lasting spiritual fruit.
