The Inspiring Life and Legacy of William Borden, a Man of Unwavering Faith and Profound Impact

William Borden was extraordinary in almost every sense. Born into wealth and privilege, he could have chosen to live a life of luxury and ease. Instead, he surrendered it all for a life of service to Christ. "Borden of Yale" is the riveting account of a man who exemplified what it means to be fully committed to God.

Raised in Moody Church in Chicago and educated at both Yale and Princeton, Borden first felt the missionary call during a round-the-world journey gifted to him by his parents at the age of sixteen. The following year, he received a distinct call to dedicate his life to serving the Muslims of China, a decision that shaped everything he did from that point forward.

Though a scholar in his own right, Borden's theological insights were not merely intellectual pursuits; they were living beliefs that propelled him into action. From leading Bible studies in dorms and founding the Yale Hope Mission to serving as a director at the National Bible Institute and spearheading evangelistic efforts that impacted the entire city of Cairo, Borden was unwavering in his commitment to share the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

As promising as his life appeared, Borden passed away in Egypt while en route to serve the Muslims in China. Thousands mourned, contemplating what might have been. Yet countless others have been inspired to follow in his footsteps to the mission field.

William Borden was a visionary, a trailblazer, and an inspiration for all who seek to follow Jesus Christ. This is not just a book; it's an invitation to reevaluate what truly matters and to live wholeheartedly for the Lord.

Paul and Barnabas experienced lots of ups and downs in Pisidian Antioch, as described in Acts 13:38-52. With enormous grace from the Holy Spirit, they were undergoing a loss of identity as they found themselves increasingly outcasts from their synagogue and nation. And yet, God was watching over them. It is at this point that Luke introduces the concept of predestination, which the rest of the New Testament consistently ascribes to the love of God. God watches over us in the ups and downs, in the twists and turns, because those who believe in Jesus have always been his, and that is our primary identity.
