- Carey shows how God uses humble servants. William Carey was born in 1761 in Pury End to parents who were weavers. Carey himself worked as a cobbler and later became a village pastor.
- Carey led the church to recover a proper theology of missions. In 1792, Carey famously called Christians to a missional understanding of the church and claimed the Great Commission was for all Christians, not merely the apostles of Jesus’s day (39).
- Carey was the forerunner to the ‘Great Century’ of global missions. The 19th century was a period of vast geographic expansion for Christianity, thus earning it the title of the ‘Great Century.’
- Carey exemplified long-suffering and faithfulness in trials. Most missionaries of Carey’s day lost children in infancy; Carey was no exception. A strength of Faithful Witness is that it doesn’t rush into the successes and glories of Carey’s ministry in later years.

In addition to a review of global missions from the apostles to the present day, Carey (an almost entirely self-educated bi-vocational pastor) had compiled statistics on the state of global evangelization on every continent. Most powerfully, Carey concisely captured the beauty of the gospel before addressing nearly every excuse that could be given ...
These questions also concerned Carey, though for a slightly different reason. In the late eighteenth century, Baptist pastors in north-central England were grappling with an understanding that had paralyzed the churches in their association — the notion that some additional, Pentecost-like (Acts 2) outpouring of the Holy Spirit would be necessary b...
Several months after the publication of An Enquiry, the pastors of the Northamptonshire association met to discuss Carey’s answer. On May 31, 1791, Carey began the gathering by preaching on Isaiah 54:2–3: His text, at first, seems a curious choice. In light of the many crystal-clear New Testament texts on evangelism and disciple-making, why choose ...

And the outpouring of the Spirit at Pentecost was the signal of the Messiah’s ultimate victory over all thr...
In the excerpt missing from my copy of An Enquiry, Carey had made this crucial connection: Carey saw that the triumph of the resurrection meant the good news of the gospel could not possibly be stopped. All things were now in subjection to Jesus — and by his Spirit and through his church, he was plundering the strong man’s household (Mark 3:24–27)....
The vision captured by those six words also forever changed the history of Christian missions. At the conclusion of Carey’s sermon, the pastors of the Northamptonshire association resolved to develop a plan for a “society to preach the gospel” among the unreached. Four months later, on October 2, 1792, they adopted that plan, forming the Baptist Mi...
William Carey was born on August 17, 1761, in the obscure village of Paulerspury, a rural community of 800 inhabitants, buried in the middle of England, about as far from ocean vistas as one could ...
