Very few people know his name. Even fewer know what he has done, but no one has transformed the landscape of Korean history more than Robert Jermain Thomas.
And he did it through failure.
BTJ’s latest book uncovers for the first time how one man changed North Korean history through a series of failures. For decades Christian missionaries used Robert as an example of what happens when missionaries fail to use their own understanding in missions. They pointed to how he traveled to China to be a missionary but failed to get along with his missionary colleagues, how he failed to start a ministry in China, how he failed to adequately identify the area he wanted to serve in. They even wrote letters sharing how he failed to adequately learn the language.
Even though he was certain he clearly heard from God to move to China, he was confused when his wife and only child died and he failed to even be there for their burial.
When Robert heard from God again to take Bibles to the people of Korea, he wondered if it would be just another failed mission venture. It seemed that way to fellow missionaries when they learned that the ship that Robert traveled on was burned and everyone on board was killed – including Robert.
What the missionaries of that time didn’t know, what Robert himself couldn’t know, was that God was going to use Robert’s sacrifice to change Korea forever in one of the most miraculous missionary stories ever told!
Robert Jermain Thomas’ story tells the most transformational mission story in Korean history in a way it has never been seen before. See how God used the life of this one man, who everyone deemed a failure, to change a nation forever.
Robert Jermain Thomas’ story has never been fully told – until now!
