Ann and Adoniram Judson - a brief biography by Michelle Buckman

Adoniram Judson (August 9, 1788 – April 12, 1850) was an American missionary, who served in Burma for almost forty years.  He labored there with his first wife Ann (née Hasseltine) (December 22, 1789 – October 24, 1826) and then also his second wife, Sarah (née Boardman, the widow of George Boardman who died while also serving in Burma) (November 4, 1803 – September 1, 1845). 

Adoniram Judson translated the whole Bible into Burmese.  He is remembered as the first significant missionary in Burma, as well as one of the first missionaries from America to travel overseas.

Their labors and their suffering are a striking testimony to their devotion to God.
