Pastor David’s Weekly Devotional
David Brainerd yearned for the salvation of Native Americans scattered along the colonial trails and farther west. From 1742-1747 he toiled among tribes in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Initially, he saw little to encourage him and had seriously considered abandoning his labors among them altogether. But in time the situation reversed itself, and scores of Native Americans came to know Christ. Brainerd’s poor health, however, eventually forced him to abandon his missionary efforts, and at age twenty-nine he died.
