There are many lessons from missions history that can be applied today. Some lessons include indigenization, God's sovereignty, and determination for the long haul. There are also many good examples such as Carey, Judson, Wilberforce, Wedgewood, and Buxton to follow after. The Haystack prayer meetings were extremely influential in the missions movement having effects on Asia, Africa, and Britain. Samuel Crowther was a leader that had incredible influence in the 19th century in which slaves were freed from Britain. He taught that missionaries were to be mentors and that the natives were to be the preachers. They were also not to be dependent on foreign money and to make sure the natives were the ones sharing the Gospel.
