Carey - His print shop burned but he persevered

William Carey, the “father of modern missions,” wanted to translate the Bible into as many Indian languages as possible. He established a large print-shop in Serampore where translation work was done.  Carey spent hours each day translating Scripture, often while his insane wife  ranted and raved in the next room. Then one night his print shop, where the Bibles were being printed, burned to the ground.  Yet Carey persevered , and went forward and accomplished his goal. The secret of Carey’s success is found in his steadfast determination. He once wrote: “There are grave difficulties on every hand, and more are looming ahead. Therefore we must go forward.” (Source Unknown).
