It's That Time of Year

Listen to Piper on Andrew Fuller

It is totally possible that Andrew Fuller’s impact on history, by the time Jesus returns, will be far greater and different than it is now.

That historical moment—the sending of William Carey and his team—marked the opening of the modern missionary movement.
