“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone.” ~ 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 (ESV) ~ NO RESERVE. NO RETREAT. NO REGRETS. I was hoping to be inspired during some downtime as I sat in the missionary guesthouse on a recent ministry trip in Africa. In the biography section of their library, I found a book by Warren Wiersbe entitled Victorious Christians You Should Know. One of the chapters was about William Whiting Borden. Before I put the book back on the shelf, I recorded some information about Borden in my journal. His story, and Wiersbe’s comments, bolstered me, and my desire is that they will have the same affect on you. William Whiting Borden was born on November 1, 1887. His father was a millionaire. When he graduated high school, his parents gifted him with a trip around the world. This experience was instrumental in motivating Borden to become a missionary. While in college (Yale), his godliness impacted his fellow students significantly. He not only started Bible study and prayer groups that eventually involved the majority of the students, but was also known for ministering to the most oppressed in town—including the disabled. Keeping track of key dates in Borden’s life is important in order to understand his story. After graduating from college in 1909, he attended Princeton Seminary. After finishing seminary, Moody Church (Chicago) ordained him on September 9, 1912, to be a missionary. The public couldn’t understand his decision because his dad had died in 1906, leaving him more money than he could ever need. They wondered why a millionaire would ever want to become a missionary. A friend of his even told him that he would be “throwing his life away as a missionary.” Borden replied, “You have never seen heathenism.” In December of 1912, he went to Egypt to study Islam and Arabic. Sometime close to Easter in 1913, he was stricken with cerebral meningitis. He died on April 9, 1913, less than five months after arriving in Egypt. He was only 25 years old.
