Tell others about Jesus like Samuel Morris did:

 Though we are not all called to the ministry of an Overseas Missionary, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians.  Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our  web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). _________________

 

By W. Terry Whalin

He was not your "typical" missionary.  He was an African called to serve in the United States.

No one would believe the adventures of nineteenth-century missionary Samuel Morris, unless they believe in a God of compassion and grace.

Samuel Morris began life as Kaboo, the eldest son of a tribal chieftain.  He was a prince, but very soon he became accustomed to being a pawn, his life held in tortuous limbo until his father could repay his debts.  Until, that is, Kaboo's captors became too greedy and no amount of ivory could rescue him from a death of unbelievable cruelty.

And then the hand of God intervened.  From Kaboo's miraculous escape, to his baptism by missionaries, to his remarkable voyage to America where he would preach against segregation and slavery, the story of Samuel Morris is an adventure of divine proportions.
