Most people know the Hudson Taylor’s and Amy Carmichael’s of the world, but do you know Kapiolani? As the queen of Hawaii in 1824, she climbed down into an active volcano to prove the One True God was more powerful than the fire gods worshipped by the island priests. Because of her defiant bravery, people all over Hawaii began to worship Jehovah.
Do you know Abdallah and Sabbat? As devout muslims, they rode their camels to Mecca in the 1800s, but Abdallah would experience the Truth and accept Jesus Christ as His Saviour. Sabbat would hand over his oldest friend to the Muslim authorities and watch him refuse to deny Christ and be beheaded for his faith. The scene would go on to torment Sabbat, who would eventually seek out Christ for himself.
Do you know of Bishop Patteson? In 1855, he set sail from England to the South Pacific Islands, taking the gospel to tribes who practiced human sacrifice and cannibalism. After learning 22 of the island languages and years of seeing hundreds come to know Christ, he was eventually martyred by those he sought to serve. After his death, Britain would stamp out slavery in their Pacific territories.
