Sadly, Robert and
his wife had lost
their unborn baby,
and then Carrie
died within five
months of their
arrival in China
as missionaries.
They had been
prepared to face
anything together,
but now she
was gone.
Robert was so
grief stricken
that he stopped
being a missionary
for a while and
got another
job in China.

However, when
he met two
Christian traders
from Korea,
his commitment
to spreading the
gospel was renewed.
Few Koreans
followed Jesus,
and the leaders
at the time hated
people and ideas
from other countries.
But Robert was
more zealous for
lost people than
he was for
his own safety.

When the two Korean
Christians set out
for their return trip
to Korea, Robert
joined them.
Officials threatened
severe punishment
for anyone who
talked to foreigners,
but some listened
to Robert’s preaching
and accepted
his gift of a
Bible anyway.

Later, Robert found
a way to take the
gospel to Korea
as a translator
aboard a Chinese
trading ship.
On a trip to Korea,
the ship’s crew
fired cannons
on hostile Koreans
on the shore.
Fearing they
would lose the
battle and the
Bibles would
be lost, Robert
threw the Bibles
into the water.
He managed
to get some of
them to the
shore himself,
in his final
effort to reach
the Koreans.
But just after
he reached
the shore, he
was beheaded
by some angry civilians.

Years later,
missionaries
discovered that
Koreans had
come to Christ
after reading
the Bibles.
Today, about
one-third of
South Koreans
are Christian,
and Christian
missionaries
from South
Korea serve
God all over
the world.

Robert’s passion
for reaching the
people of East Asia
was more important
to him than even
his own life.
Sometimes
God is glorified
when Christians
die for their
faith in Him.

At other times
He is glorified
when He delivers
people from the
hands of their
persecutors.
No matter what,
we can trust that
our lives are
in His hands,
just at Robert
Jermain Thomas did.
(I am so taken up by the life of this great Missionary)
Lesson to learn:
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.’
(Rom.12: 11)
