Richard Haklyut (1552/3-1616) was a force in English politics. He was a priest serving in
the English government. His life's interest was to chronicle and promote voyages of
discovery. He read, translated, charted, and published accounts of world exploration,
always emphasizing that England should explore and settle the new world.
He was urgent to get the English to the Americas, and he constantly argued that the church should send missionaries to the natives. He viewed the efforts to find, investigate, and map the new world as serving the cause of Christ. He wrote of the "infinite multitudes" who awaited the good news of Christ and their need for salvation. He quoted Paul in Romans 10, noting that verses 13-15 clinched the argument for missionaries.
We also can use current technologies and the information from scientists and governments to get the word out to the "infinite multitudes" who await the good news of Christ.
