Merciful God, who didst call William Carey to missionary work in India and didst endue him with a zeal for thy Word that led him to translate Scripture into many local languages and dialects: Give us a heart for the spreading of thy Gospel and a thirst for justice among all the peoples of the world; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who sheds thy light and peace throughout humanity, and who livest and reignest with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
OTD in 1792 William Carey preached in Nottingham at the Baptist Association on Isaiah 54:2-3 and the theme, "Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God" pic.twitter.com/uKuzAwGeLc
