Description
He sailed in 1793 to India
with a reluctant wife and four children to bring the message of Jesus.
There he encountered so much hardship it is amazing he didn't abandon
his mission and go home. But he stayed for over 40 years.
One
issue that tormented him was sati—the burning alive of widows when
their husbands died. He would not rest until this practice was stopped.
Facing insurmountable odds, he "plodded on" to influence the abolition
of sati and to become the revered "Friend of India" and "Father of
Modern Missions."
He oversaw more translations of the Bible than
had been done in all previous Christian history combined. Life was
never easy for Carey, but he simply refused to quit, even when a
devastating fire destroyed years of his literary work. His legacy has
inspired countless others from his own day to the present. William
Carey shows dramatically how a life dedicated to God and obedient to
His calling can make a profound difference in the world. Starring
Richard Attlee, Lynette Edwards and Julie-Kate Olivier.
