🔥 “Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.” – William Carey
Carey believed that faith was not passive. To trust God meant to move, to act, to labor for the sake of the nations. In 1792 he preached this line in a small Baptist meeting in Nottingham, and from that moment the modern missionary movement was born.
He did not stop with words. He sailed to India in 1793, buried children in foreign soil, endured poverty and disease, and yet pressed on with unshakable hope. He translated the Bible into Bengali, Sanskrit, and other languages so that multitudes could hear the Word of God in their own tongue. His motto was not theory. It was the rhythm of a consecrated life.
Expecting great things from God fuels prayer. Attempting great things for God fuels obedience. Together, they birth missions, awakenings, and transformations that echo through generations. 🔥
Carey’s words lit the fire of the modern missionary movement. His story is now live on Spirit Broods.
