All month long our contributors have written about the lives of Christian missionaries who followed Christ’s call to share the Gospel with the world. Stewards of God’s grace, pioneer missionaries spearheaded, lead the way, launched, explored, and blazed new trails for the Gospel. If you missed a post, don’t worry. This post contains links to all of the contributions to our #GospelTrailblazers series.

#GospelTrailblazers Posts

David Brainerd: Serving While Suffering

Of David Brainerd, Ali Shaw wrote, “God can use anyone. He can use someone who suffers intensely from mental health struggles. He can use someone with physical illness (or multiple physical illnesses.) Not only can He, but He does!

Counting the Cost: Jim and Elisabeth Elliot

Jaime Hilton shared Jim and Elisabeth Elliot’s legacy: “Elisabeth’s forgiveness and acceptance of the people who had killed her husband was a living example of God’s unconditional love which opened the door for these previously unreached people to know Jesus Christ.”

Love for the Lost: Samuel & Amy Zwemer

Samuel and Amy Zwemer were among the first to share the Gospel with the Muslim world. Sarah Gogerty wrote, “Because the Zwemers camped at the foot of the cross, they continually saw their need for and the glory of the Savior. I think it was this humble, worshipful posture that sustained them through decades of ministry.”

God Speaks Every Language: William Cameron Townsend

William Cameron Townsend turned from selling Bibles to translating them. Cheli Sigler shared his desire “to show them that God speaks every language.”

180 Degree Repentance: Bartolomé de las Casas

Jennifer Hong brought us the story of Bartolomé de las Casas, slave owner turned protector of the very people he enslaved. Fully repentant he said, “Christ wanted love to be called his single commandment. This we owe to all men. Nobody is excepted.”

The Faithful Example of Gladys Aylward

Kristee Ravan shared the story of Gladys Aylward. Enduring many trials to be faithful to God’s call on her life, “may we remember the example of Gladys, who stayed true to the purpose God had put on her life until the end.”

Live Out Your Calling

Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them…. (1 Corinthians 7:17)

Thank you for joining us this month! You might not be a missionary, but it is our prayer that you will be encouraged to live out God’s call on your life.
