The early nineteenth century was important for many reasons in Christian history, but one of the most dramatic involved the sweeping missionary effort that was determined to bring the gospel to the world.

This lecture outlines the major events and themes of his remarkable career. This is the first 15 minutes of the lecture. To hear the entire lecture, please go to www.brucegore.com.
