Understanding Islam

In 1978, historian Michael Hart wrote a book entitled, The One Hundred: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History. Translated into over fifteen languages, Hart stirred controversy by giving the honor of Most Influential Person in History to Muhammad. He states, “My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both religious and secular levels.”[1] Who was this man that one out of every four people in the world see as the final prophet of God?[2]

David Livingstone

David Livingstone

“I have sometimes seen, in the morning sun, the smoke of a thousand villages, where no missionary has ever been.” These words burned in Livingstone’s heart ultimately compelling him to give up his small ambitions in order to join Dr. Moffat as a missionary in Africa.

Eric Liddell

Eric Liddell

Eric’s legacy is not what God did through him in China, or that Eric won a gold medal. Eric’s legacy is that he made decisions in advance according to his God given convictions to run the race of life in order to get the prize.

George Liele

George Liele is considered to be America’s first missionary. He chose to leave America in 1782 to start a church in Kingston, Jamaica. This was ten years before William Carey left England for India, and twenty years before Adoniram Judson left America for Burma.

Isobel Kuhn

Isobel Kuhn

Isobel’s life is a reminder that God has proven Himself sufficient for those who have gone before us in reaching the nations with the Gospel of Christ. Isobel was used by the Lord not because she was or flawless or better trained or less apt to selfishness, but because she considered Him worthy of her life and responded in precious obedience.
