In 1820, Dwight Baldwin graduated from Yale. He then went to seminary and attended Harvard Medical School. Baldwin felt God calling him to be a missionary so he and his wife went to Hawaii, ending up on the island of Maui. Baldwin started preaching to the sailors, but when a smallpox epidemic hit, his medical training became indispensable. The death count on the islands reached 10,000, but because of Dr. Baldwin's efforts, only 250 died on Maui.
Baldwin brought great change to Maui. He not only showed the people how they could be saved from smallpox, but also how they could be saved from sin. His medical training provided the tools he needed to be greatly used by God. Like Baldwin, we need to ask God to prepare us for how he wants to use us.
