Introduction
Missions, in some form, has been going on since the time of Christ. From the first
apostles, to the missionaries in the Middle Ages and then into the modern and postmodern ages,
missions has never ceased. Protestant missions, however, received a big boost in the late
eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries with the advent of the modern missions movement.
This paper sketches the history of modern Protestant missions beginning with a look at the
Pietists and Moravians, then examines the lives and careers of William Carey and J. Hudson
Taylor. This paper also argues for the use of mission societies that played such an integral role
in modern missions.
Pietists and The Moravian Missions Movement
The Moravians were a group of people that originated out of Bohemia (or modern Czech
Republic) from the teachings of John Huss in the fifteenth century. Throughout the centuries,
they endured in one way or another in staying alive as a Protestant denomination. The
Moravians had a great zeal for missions. The modern mission movement among the Moravians
grew out of the Pietist movement in Germany in the early eighteenth century. Pietism gained
momentum in Europe under Philipp Jakob Spener in the late seventeenth to early eighteenth
centuries. Spener began Bible studies and emphasized personal piety among his followers. One
of his greatest followers was August Hermann Francke. Francke was a professor at the
University of Halle in Germany and, like Spener before him, he also paid more attention to the
relationship between Pietism and traditional Lutheran theology.1
Gonzalez also notes that, At first the Pietists were not interested in world missions,
although they were active in meeting the needs of their fellow Christians by founding schools

and institutions to serve orphans, the poor, and o thers in need.2 The king of Denmark, in 1707,
decided to send missionaries to his Indian colonies and requested that Francke recommend and
send two men. Of the two, Bartholomeus Ziegenbalg is argued by Paul Jenkins in his review of
Daniel JeyarajsBartholomus Ziegenbalg, the Father of Modern Protestant Mission: An Indian
Assessmentto be the father of modern missions as opposed to William Carey.
Jenkins includes in his review Jeyarajs statement that the key foundation date in the
development of modern Protestant missions was 1706 (Ziegenbalgs arrival in South India)
rather than 1792 (the year William Careys Baptist Missionary Society was founded).3
A. Scott
Moreau, Gary R. Corwin, and Gary B. McGee further develop Ziegenbalgs career by stating
that he became fluent in the Tamil language and translated a large part of the Old Testament
and the entire New Testament.4 Though Ziegenbalgs ministry seems to be very similar to that
of Careys, calling him the father of modern Protestant missions seems to go a bit far. Though
he was sent and served as a missionary before William Carey did, Careys influence on modern
missions did more to change the minds of people than Ziegenbalg.
The Moravian missions movement gained its greatest zeal and drive from the group of
Moravian refugees who took refuge with Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf. The group of
refugees founded a village at Herrnhut and soon Zinzendorf joined them. Gonzalez tells of the
rise of Zinzendorfs missionary zeal. He notes that in 1731, while in Denmark, Zinzendorf
meta group of Eskimos who had been converted by the Lutheran missionary Hans Egede, and

this kindled in him an interest in missions that would dominate the rest of his life.5 Gonzalez
goes on to note that because of Zinzendorfs newly found zeal for missions, the village at
Herrnhut burned with the same zeal, and in 1732 its first missionaries left for the Caribbean.6
The Moravians sent missionaries to many different places including Africa, North and South
America, India, and into other parts of Europe.
Specifically, the Moravians had an impact on missions in Estonia, where this author
currently serves. Pietists had already been active in Estonia but had created a kind of elitism
among their followers. The websiteEstonica: Encyclopedia about Estonia tells of the Moravian
influence saying, In contrast to the elitist Pietism, emphasizing penitence in the spirit of the Old
Testament, the christocratic theological approach of the Moravians made them an optimistic and
popular movement. This began to spread widely among Estonian peasants in the 1730s, when the
founder of the movement, Count Nikolaus Ludwig Zinzendorf, visited Estonia.7 The
Moravians had such an impact on the awakening of religion in Estonia that Estonica notes that
it was the Moravian movement that truly awakened a great number of Estonians to spontaneous
and enthusiastic acceptance of the Christian truths.8 Moreau, Corwin, and McGee note that
because of the Moravians determination to reach souls for the Lamb, [they] became devoted to
mission and were far ahead of their time in strategy and conception of Christian unity.9

Moravians influence began in the late seventeenth to early eighteenth century, the latter half of

the eighteenth century saw the continuation of the modern missions movement with the work of
William Carey.
William Careys Influence on Modern Missions
The next great chapter in the history of modern Protestant missions centers on William
Carey. William Carey was born in the village of Paulerspury in Northamptonshire, England on
August 17, 1761. Though he was raised in an Anglican home, he eventually became a Baptist.
Carey was, according to George Smith a village shoemaker till he was twenty-eight years of
age.10
In the year 1789, Carey was called to the pastorate of Harvey Lane Church at Leicester.
Here he was brought into association with men of culture, and books were freely placed at his
disposal.11 These books and men of culture likely influenced him in his convictions toward the
Great Commission and his future influence on the modern missions movement.
In 1792, several things happened in the life of Carey. The first was the publication of his
pamphletAn Enquiry into the Obligations of Christians to Use Means for the Conversion of the
Heathen. It was in this pamphlet that Carey argued that the Great Commission is still binding on
Christians today and was not limited to the apostles. One of the more influential points that he
makes in his argument is that if the task of teaching all nations were reserved for the apostles,
then so was baptism and Jesus promise to be with them until the end of the age. By a systematic
and expository analysis of Matthew 28:18-20, Carey effectively argues that because churches

still baptize believers, then believers must continue to bring the gospel message to the ends of the
earth.12
The second influential thing that happened in Careys life in 1792 was his address at the
Northamptonshire Association annual meeting. Careys main theme was lengthen the cord;
strengthen the stakes. It was in this sermon that Carey proclaimed expect great things from
God; attempt great things for God. Doyle Young says that the effect was electric, producing
considerable conviction. A discussion afterwards led the ministers to agree to consider a plan for
organizing a mission society at the next ministers meeting, to be held at Andrew Fullers church
in Kettering in October.
13
Thus theParticular Baptist Society for the Propagation of the
Gospel Among the Heathen was formed and later took on the name ofBaptist Missionary
Society. The very next year at the meeting of the Society, Carey was chosen to go as a
missionary to India. In 1793, Carey arrived in Calcutta, India with his family and a doctor who
would be with him in his missionary endeavors.
The effect of Careys ministry was extensive. David A. Schattschneider, in his article
William Carey, Modern Missions, and the Moravian Influence, writes that in 1800, with the
arrival of additional missionaries and the establishment of mission headquarters in Serampore,
the Baptist work was set upon a firm foundation. Despite some later setbacks, by the time of
Careys death the Baptist mission was well established.14
Carey had an uncanny ability for
language learning. He translated the Bible or parts of it, according to John D.W. Watts, into 22

Indian languages.15 Gonzalez offers a differing account by stating that Carey had translated the
Bible or parts of it into thirty-five languages.16
Carey had very peculiar beginnings in India.
Watts notes that, He had no permit to reside in India. For five years the only way in which he
could escape arrest and find means to maintain his family was to take service as manager of an
indigo plantation in the interior of Bengal. Here little missionary work was possible; but Carey
was able to lay the foundations for his splendid knowledge of the Bengali language.17
It is interesting to find that a missionary such as Carey would seek to elude authorities for
five years in order to perform little mission work other than gaining further aptitude
linguistically. Five years in a foreign land constantly escaping law enforcement can add to a
multitude of culture shock. However, as history has shown, Carey endured these hiccups in the
beginnings of his missionary endeavors and began a work that was continued for generations to
come.
One of the major things that Carey and his group did while in India was to form a higher
educational institution. They wanted an institution which could prepare native preachers for
evangelism and the churches, as well as schoolmasters for the schools.18 This institution was
supported by the King of Denmark and, according to Watts, the college and its system of
theological education is the most obvious monument to the vision and achievements of the
Serampore trio that is extant today.19

William Careys role in modern Protestant missions was integral in the beginnings of
mission societies and the sending forth of missionaries to various parts of the globe. His
influence on missions is still felt today with missionaries still being sent out by mission agencies
and churches to many different countries. However, Carey was not alone in his missions
endeavors. As previously seen, the Moravians were very active and were contemporaries of
Carey. Schattschneider notes thus that William Carey and the Moravians thus worked as part of
a single network. They all labored at crucial turning points in the development of Protestant
missions, and their stories qualify as great moments in missionary history.20
In 1834, Carey
died, but the missions zeal that he instigated in his generation continued into the next with the
work and ministry of J. Hudson Taylor.
J. Hudson Taylor and His Role in Modern Missions
James Hudson Taylor was born May 21, 1832 in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England in a
Methodist family. J. Herbert Kane, when speaking of Taylors conversion experience says, At
seventeen years of age he experienced a quiet but rather unusual conversion, not unlike that of
John Wesley, which resulted in a full assurance of salvation that never left him.21
What is
interesting to note is that Taylor in hisAutobiography of a Missionary tells that he was about
fifteen years of age. Kane is correct in saying that it was an unusual conversion as Taylor
himself proclaims that while on holiday he was looking through his fathers library for
something to read when, I turned over a little basket of pamphlets, and selected from amongst
them a Gospel tract which looked interesting, saying to myself, There will be a story at the
commencement, and a sermon or moral at the close: I will take the former and leave the latter for

those who like it.22 He goes on to say that when reading through the tract that he comes to the
conclusion that Christs work is finished and all he had to do was to accept Him which he did.
What is also interesting about his conversion experience concerns his mother. At the time, she
was away and nowhere near Taylor and became intensely burdened for his salvation. Taylor
writes that at the place where she was,
She went to her room and turned the key in the door, resolved not to leave that spot untilher prayers were answered. Hour after hour did that dear mother plead for me, until at
length she could pray no longer, but was constrained to praise God for that which HisSpirit taught her had already been accomplishedthe conversion of her only son.
23
He concludes the whole affair by saying, Thus while my dear mother was praising God on her
knees in her chamber, I was praising Him in the old warehouse to which I had gone alone to read
at my leisure this little book.24
Taylors father, before Taylor himself was born, became interested in the spiritual state of
China. He was unable to go as a missionary because, according to Taylor, his circumstances
were such as to preclude the hope of his ever going to China for personal service, but he was led
to pray that if God should give him a son, he might be called an privileged to labour in the vast
needy empire which was then apparently so sealed against the truth.25
God answered this
prayer as Taylor confesses his call to missions saying, the impression was wrought into my soul
that it was in China the Lord wanted me.26

In 1853, Taylor made his first trip to China under, according to Kane, the auspices of the
Chinese Evangelization Society (CES).27
Taylors initial zeal for evangelization and literature
distribution allowed for many Chinese people to hear the gospel message. After some initial
trials with rebels and bandits, Taylor recalls a moment when he was able to preach the gospel to
a town of around one thousand people. He notes that as an outcome of his preaching,
I heard one of our hearers repeating to the newcomers, in his own local dialect, the truthsupon which I had been dwelling! Oh, how thankful I felt to hear a Chinaman, of his own
accord, telling his fellow-countrymen that God loved them; that they were sinners, butthat Jesus had died instead of them, and paid the penalty of their guilt. That one moment
repaid me for all the trials we had passed through; and I felt that if the Lord should grantHis Holy Spirit to change the heart of that man, we had not come in vain.
28
Also, at this town, Taylor and his colleagues distributed Bibles and gospel tracts because they
wanted them to at least go away with the gospel.
Taylor and his colleagues continued to minister in China for many years. However, in
1860, just seven years after Taylor arrived in China, he was forced to depart from China because
of his health. He writes,
It was hard to face this possibility. The growing church and work seemed to need our
presence, and it was no small trial to part from those whom we had learned so truly tolive in the Lord. At last, however, completely prostrated by repeated attacks of illness,
the only hope of restoration seemed to lie in a voyage to England and a brief stay in itsmore bracing climate; and this necessity, painful though it seemed at the time, proved to
be only another opportunity for the manifestation of the faithfulness and loving care ofHim who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will.
29
His unwanted departure from China allowed for the next phase of his ministry to begin as these
events led to the founding of the China Inland Mission of which became a major society that
spread the gospel throughout China. Taylors role in the early missions endeavors in China

paved the way for more mission work to be done in China; a work that continues to this very
day.
Mission Societies and their Impact
In the nineteenth century, the formation of mission societies had a huge impact on the
efforts of modern Protestant missions. With the beginning being with Carey and his associates in
the founding of the Baptist Missionary Society in 1792, a swarm of societies were formed in the
next century that sent out missionaries in an attempt to win the world for Jesus Christ. Though
groups such as the Moravians did not send missionaries through societies, but rather through a
coalition of churches, the use of mission societies had a far greater impact on modern missions
than the strategy of the Moravians. Following the Baptist Missionary Society, the London
Missionary Society was formed in 1795. It was with this society that David Livingstone was
associated and whose efforts sought to bring the gospel to the people of interior Africa.
The effects of mission societies were felt far and wide. For example, Taylors China
Inland Mission had influence in Australia among societies attempting to reach aboriginal
peoples. The influence is found in Taylors approach to faith and prayer for his needs instead of
an appeal for support. Taylor, being sent by the Chinese Evangelization Society, was dependent
upon them for funds and support. However, when the support dried up, Taylor Taylor withdrew
from them and depended upon God for his physical needs.30
This dependence upon God for his
needs is reminiscent of George Mllers faith and the events that happened at his orphanage in
England. Taylor began to place an emphasis on not appealing for support, but merely depending
on God to supply his every need through fervent prayer. This strategy among Taylor and his
30Alison Longworth, Upon past Ebenezers we built our Jehovah-Jireh: The vision of the Australian
Aborigines Mission and its heritage in the China Inland Mission, inJournal of Religious History 31, no. 2 (June 1,
2007), 176.

colleagues was one that was emulated by many others and was one of the things that Taylor
implemented in the founding of the China Inland Mission. As such, Alison Longworth writes
that in 1902, the New South Wales Aborigines Mission found that financial constraints
hindered them from achieving their vision and they adopted the faith mission principles
of the China Inland Mission.31
The strategies in which missions was carried out by the various societies differed. The
China Inland Mission, focused on faith missions and the desire to become insiders, pressed its
missionaries to work in the interior as well as to learn the language, eat local food, wear
customary clothes, and observe Chinese etiquette.
32
Work for the China Inland Mission was
centered in China and not in England as other societies had done. In this fashion, the specific
needs of the people could better be addressed by a local organization rather than one that was
thousands of miles away in England. In contrast, Carey and his Baptist Missionary Society
conducted the work from England with Carey regularly sending reports back to England to the
churches.
The use of mission societies allows for the work of world evangelization to grow by leaps
and bounds in contrast to one church sending a missionary. The view of this author is that a
mission sending organization, such as the missions societies of the nineteenth century, have far
greater effectiveness in the task of missions. Missions societies or organizations have more
resources available to them as they are usually an association or convention of churches who
pool their resources together for the common missions task. Andrew F. Walls in his bookThe
Missionary Movement in Christian Historydescribes a missions society while part of a
voluntary association, individuals, churches, and congregations freely act together for an object
31Ibid., 169.

12
of common interest. It is essentially a pragmatic approach, the design of an instrument for a
specific purpose.33
Thus, mission societies are formed at the behest of the churches that are in
association together as a means to spread the gospel to the whole world.
While many churches not affiliated with any mission society or organization do in fact
send missionaries, the missionaries supported by these churches are often times limited in
resources that a mission society provides. Sending missionaries through missions societies or
organizations allow for more member care to be provided by the association, more prayer
support through the various churches during association wide missions events, and for a more
stable support base from numerous churches channeled through the mission organization.
Because of the dramatic impact that missions societies have had through the birth and growth of
the modern missions movement, the continued use of these societies by missionaries can play a
vital role in the effectiveness of the mission and in the personal life of the missionary himself.
Conclusion
Missions has not been an isolated event that has simply been going on since the latter part
of the eighteenth century. Missions have been an integral part of the church dating back to the
time of Paul and the ministries of the other apostles. Modern Protestant missions began through
the efforts of the Pietists and the Moravians in Europe through the sending of missionaries to
Africa,North and South America, India, and to other parts of Europe. William Careys emphasis
on the Great Commission in hisEnquiry gave modern missions a renewed mindset toward the
missionary enterprise. With the formation of the Baptist Missionary Society, the publication of
theEnquiry, and his own service as a missionary, William Carey has been bestowed the title of
father of modern missions.

J. Hudson Taylor, as the next generation of modern missions, had a very successful
career in China which led to the formation of the China Inland Mission. This and other mission
societies had far reaching influence in strategy in various other nations. The use of mission
societies today is still needed and provides one of the most effective means for sending
missionaries, supporting missionaries, and reaching the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
