Henry Martyn, 19th-century missionary to the Muslims in Persia said, ‘Let me burn out for God’. He meant it and he did it. He died at 31 achieving in six years what most of us don’t glimpse in our lifetime. He has left us an example, not of a perfect man, but of what God can do with a very imperfect man who takes him seriously. Henry’s secrets?
