Birth of William Carey, English missionary to India and the father of modern missions. While still a teenager, he already could read the Bible in six languages. Carey joined the Baptist church in 1783, and soon began advocating the cause of missions. In 1792 he preached the memorable sermon: Expect Great Things from God; Attempt Great Things for God. The following year, he went to India as one of the fist missionaries under the English Baptist Missionary Society.
An order of the French parliament was published throughout Paris to the sound of trumpets, commanding all booksellers, printers, and others with German Reformer Martin Luther’s books in their possession, to give them up within eight days or face imprisonment and fine.
The Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria set sail on their historic voyage which brought Europeans to the Americas. The expedition’s leader, Christopher Columbus, had both missionary and trade ambitions.
The Mormon community that followed Brigham Young chose the site for their future temple (and present-day headquarters) near the Great Salt Lake in Utah.
A small congregation of English Separatists who had taken refuge in the Netherlands with their minister, John Robinson, left Leiden, Holland, bound for their native England. In December of that same year, these Separatists emigrated from England to the New World. In our country we refer to these persecuted religious emigrants as “the Pilgrims.”
