Sermon Illustrations

One of the earliest disciples of Ignatius Loyola, one of the first Jesuits, Francis was going to go to Palestine to convert Muslims–and probably be martyred–when an opportunity arose to travel farther East to preach Jesus. He asked to be sent as a missionary to the Far East. By all accounts, he was enormously successful in India, and even brought Christ to Japan for the first time.
