The Life of David Brainerd
David Brainerd faced immense hardships throughout his life, including the loss of both parents by the age of 14. His journey took him to Yale with aspirations of becoming a pastor, but he was expelled due to his outspoken views against the faculty's resistance to revival teachings. Following his expulsion, Brainerd embarked on a mission to serve Native Americans as a missionary, despite not being formally ordained. His dedication to his ministry came at great personal cost, including struggles with illness and loneliness, yet he continued to share his faith fervently.
