The Prayer Life of William Carey That Moved India

The Prayer Life of William Carey That Moved India There was a man, a village shoemaker, with no degree, no money, no influential connections. A man whose name no one knew outside a rural village in England. This man was responsible for moving a subcontinent of three hundred million people. Not with armies. Not with politics. Not with gold. But with something most Christians today can barely sustain for five minutes straight: prayer. His name was William Carey. And today you will discover why his prayer life is probably the most challenging and transformative chapter in the history of Christian missions.
