The Bible Carey translated into Bangali, is still used today. It is
that ranslation we are trying to get in the hands of the children
by Chuck Ness
On the heels of a Revolution that won freedom, for the American colinialists, from bondage to King George, a lowly shoemaker named William Carey won freedom from his bondage to sin and became a Christian in England.
William Carey always had a fondness for the voyages of James Cook, Columbus, and Vasco da Gama. Their exploits into the lands they discovered moved him to answer God's calling to spread the Gospel to the uncivilized heathens of the World. Convinced to join his friend, Andrew Fuller and a few others, he helped them create a group that would be called the Baptist Missionary Society. Before long Carey was headed to India with a passion to save souls for Christ. Using the business model of the big trading companies like the East India Company, he set up a missionary movement that earned souls like a business earned profits.
