Summary

David Brainerd (1718-1747) was a missionary to the Native Americans in Delaware, New York, New Jersey, and Eastern Pennsylvania. Edited by the eminent Puritan theologian and Preacher Jonathan Edwards, The Life and Diary of David Brainerd (1749) became a source of inspiration and encouragement to many Christians, including the theologian John Wesley and missionaries such as William Carey and Jim Elliot. Its major impact on the Protestant missionary movement of the 19th and early 20th century can hardly be overstated. For many early missionaries the Diary was like a second Bible. Brainerd faced many challenges in his work, including depression, loneliness, and physical illness, but his single-minded devotion to God served as a stable anchor.

Excellent model of faith

Brainerd had unequaled devotion. A hero of the faith who only sought holiness and the kingdom of God.
