Object:
Adoniram Judson after being a Deist at Providence College (now Brown University) realized after graduation that it was aimless philosophy and converted to Christianity. He took upon himself the role of evangelist and became one of the founders of the American Baptist Missionary Society. Unable to be accepted in the southeast countries of choice, he took his missionary venture to Burma in 1812. He and his wife Ann were the only Christians in the entire country. After six long and exhausting years he had his first convert, Moung Nau. By 1850 there were 210,000 Christians in Burma, which is 1 out of every 58 Burmans. Yet at this time the 62-year-old evangelist began to suffer from depression and doubted his own salvation. He died on a voyage back to America in an attempt to regain the assurance of his salvation.
