William Carey, often called the "Father of Modern Missions," jolted the Protestant churches into world mission involvement. Carey's own story is both tragic and triumphant. An illegal immigrant to India, he lost a son to tropical disease and a wife to madness, and labored seven years before seeing his first convert. Yet, as an uneducated servant of God, he transcended unspeakable adversity to become Professor of Languages and translate the Scriptures into 36 dialects. Documentary.
