Paul Lintott, pastor of Hall Green Baptist Chapel, West Yorkshire, has been in Myanmar to teach young pastors under the auspices of mission organisation Asialink’s ‘Shepherd Project’. He writes:
Before stepping into the classrooms and churches of Myanmar, I could not help but reflect on the legacy of Adoniram Judson.
As one of the first American missionaries, Judson arrived in Burma (now Myanmar) in 1813, enduring hardships that tested his faith and perseverance. He spent years mastering the Burmese language, translating the Bible, and laying the foundation for what would become a vibrant Christian community. His dedication to the gospel continues to bear fruit today, as believers in Myanmar remain deeply rooted in the word of God.
