This is a brand new, 1st edition, 1st printing 194 page paperback. From the back cover we read, 'Go south with radio,' God said to Clarence Wesley Jones. So C. E. went south-to Ecuador. 'Come up to this mountain,' God said. Clarence Jones ascended the mountain and perched his tiny radio operation in Quito, the city at the top of the world. Lord, C. W. prayed then, give me this mountain. And so it was that in 1931, in a humble sheepshed rigged with a 250-watt transmitter and antenna wire, a Christmas program was broadcast to a total of just thirteen receiving-sets, sand HCJB was born. It was the advent of missionary radio.

Missions comes alive in this little book!The amazing story of the father of modern missions. Traces his life from a simple English cobbler who became a self-taught scholar to becoming a pioneer missionary to India. His biography is fascinating. Here is a snippet: 'It was reading the stories of Captain Cook's travels that opened Carey's mind to the existence of other lands and peoples. The lives of David Brainard and John Eliot (missionaries to the Native Americans) gave him practical examples of cross-cultural communication. Growing in his Christian faith, he could only think of the spiritual needs of people who had never heard the gospel. Carey's original vision was to be a missionary in the island of Tahiti (inspired by Captain Cook's description). Then he and the other members of the missionary society met Dr. John Thomas, who had experience in India, spoke Bengali, and was looking for help. Carey and his friends felt that through this contact the Lord was leading them to return with Thomas and… Read More
