While a college student at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, California, Brian just happened to pick up a magazine by Wycliffe Bible Translators. When he began reading the Holy Spirit immediately fell on him. Brian was feeling as if God had poured His heart for the nations on him, and thought this is what people must have meant by a call to missions.

Francis of Assisi
William Carey
Alexander Duff
Soon the Scottish Church decided to send a missionary to India on an educational mission, and Duff was asked to go. In 1829, at the age of 18, he left for India with his new bride Anne. When he arrived in Calcutta, Christianity had but a few converts among the orphans and outcasts. Christianity was small, feeble, and not self-propagating.
Elisabeth Elliot & Rachel Saint
Spurred on by the death of their husband and brother, Elisabeth Elliot and Rachel Saint, quickly established a home among the Auca Indians. Rachel Saint, who worked for Wycliffe Bible Translators, was the older sister of Nate. Rachel and Elisabeth have become some of Christendom’s most beloved and well-known women missionaries. They have been an encouragement and challenge to woman in godliness, faithfulness and God’s purpose in world missions.
