Here is a clip of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary president Danny Akin speaking on George Leile. Akin believes Leile was actually the first protestant foreign missionary. Leile was a freed slave who sold himself, along with his family, into slavery in Jamaica for the purpose of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Like great missionaries William Carey and Lottie Moon, George Leile was a five-point Calvinist.
