David Brainerd

As some of you know I got David Brainerd as my topic, and let me tell you, he was an amazing man! In his first attempt to reach a fierce tribe of Indians they had heard that Brainerd was coming and sent out a war party to kill him. They found him praying to GOD, but before they could to anything a rattlesnake slithered out of the bushes. It looked like it was about to bite him, but then it stopped and slithered back into the bushes. The Indians were amazed by this and welcomed him to there tribe as one who was in touch with the great spirit. This is just one of many amazing stories in his life. Here's a link to a site that I found: http://www.wholesomewords.org/missions/biobrain.html

Wow! That's just like the story of Paul on the island of Malta after the shipwreck. David Brainerd certainly had the protection of God over him.
