Our testimony can make a lasting impact

11 of 16 Samuel Morris From the Heroes of Faith Series Over the next several weeks, we will be featuring real heroes—men and women who have accomplished so much for the Lord in the face of unimaginable circumstances. We hope you'll read over them and look to their examples for hope and encouragement. "It is when we are at the lowest that we need a savior the most." —Samuel Morris "Only fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart. For consider what great things he has done for you." (1 Sam. 12:24) It was 1883, in Liberia, Africa, and warriors from an enemy tribe had tied Prince Kaboo to a pole and surrounded him. Kaboo's father, who ruled his tribe as chief, had been unable to rescue Kaboo after the enemies kidnapped him. A scowling warrior raised his spear and aimed it straight at Kaboo. But then, a bright light flashed from the sky, and a voice said, "Run, Kaboo, run!" The ropes fell off, and Kaboo ran into the jungle. Kaboo found his way to a plantation where the owners allowed him to stay and work. He was also able to attend church services. One day at church, he heard the story of Saul on the road to Damascus from Acts 9. Kaboo ran to the front of the church saying, "I know that voice!" He realized that his heavenly Father had rescued him, and he faithfully devoted the rest of his life to him. To testify to his new life, he changed his name to Samuel Morris after a Christian teacher he had heard about from an American missionary named Lizzie McNeil. Samuel was happy with his new life, but he was sad that the African tribal people in his country of Liberia did not know about Jesus. He decided to go to America to learn to be a missionary like Lizzie. Samuel made the grueling and dangerous voyage to America. The sailors fought storms, illness, exhausting work, and each other. Many of them bullied and threatened Samuel, but God prevailed. By the end of the voyage, many of the crew wanted to follow Samuel's God! In America, Samuel shared and lived out his faith in New York and at Taylor University in Indiana. Samuel died when he was only 20 years old. Though he never became a missionary to Africa, his faithfulness to God and his testimony inspired many to become missionaries and spread the Good News of Jesus all over the world.  Samuel Morris was a man of faithfulness. He continued to tell people about how God had saved him, even when it seemed they wouldn't listen. His belief that Jesus had spoken to him that day would become his most powerful testimony. We each have a testimony of how God has changed our lives, and it's important to remember the impact our testimonies can have when witnessing to those around us.
