David Brainerd was a missionary to the North American Indians in the mid to late 1700's. His passion for the gospel led him to a life of selfless and sacrificial living that God may be glorified among them through their embracing Christ. He endured through physical and mental ailments that often hinder or restrict us from serving. I read in his journal this morning a very challenging description of his travels, "I have now ridden more than three thousand miles [on horseback] that I have kept an exact amount of, since the beginning of March last [now October/November of same year]. Almost the whole of it has been in my own proper business as a missionary, upon the design (either immediately or more remotely) of propagating Christian knowledge among the Indians." The love of Christ compelled Brainerd to ride horseback 3,000 miles in 6 months to preach the gospel to the Indians. How far are we willing to go? How uncomfortable are we willing to be? In order for the nations to know Christ.
