OK. Looking at the historical accounts and the results of their ministries I have a good question as to who was America's first missionary.
We have Adoniram Judson going to Burma on one hand. (Most accredited 30 years after America won independance)
We have George Liele on the other hand going to Jamaica. (Escaping with the British because America won Independance )
Look carefully at the Biographies on Wikipedia and elsewhere before making conclusions.
Right now I'm gonna have to go with George. (Born in VA) and not with Adoniram.
BUT what do you think ?
