[b]Major Ian Thomas (19)

Some Christians learn that the Lord can
make life an adventure. Major W. Ian
Thomas of England is one of them.
The Major is every inch a soldier. With his infantry
battalion he served in the British Expeditionary Forces in Belgium at the outset of World War II
and took part in the evacuation at Dunkirk. Often in combat, in France, Italy, Greece, and elsewhere during the long war, he found the Lord Jesus to
be his complete sufficiency. The Major is likewise
a soldier of in Christ, faithful to the Captain of our salvation. He has found life an adventure with God.
Reared in a "respectable" middle-class English home, he was taken to church and taught its
precepts. He learned little or nothing of the Bible, however, either at home or in the church attended by the family. At the age of twelve he was invited to a Bible study group of the Crusaders' Union by a\t
lad of thirteen who, during that year, received Christ as his Savior. The Bible began to be meaningful to young Ian, and the following summer, still twelve years old, he was converted to Christ at a Crusaders' Union camp. That decision was made when he was alone simply by praying earnestly, "Lord Jesus, please be my Savior"! At the
age of fifteen, he felt convinced that he should devote all of his life to the service of the Lord Jesus. He told God that he would become a missionary. He began to preach out in the open air at Hampstead Heath at that early age. He was also actively engaged in Sunday School work as well as in the Crusaders' Bible class. Life became a round of ceaseless activity.
