George Lisle

George Lisle was a pioneering African-American evangelist and missionary who played a crucial role in the early Baptist movement in Jamaica. He was one of the first missionaries to be sent to Jamaica in the late 18th century and worked tirelessly to spread the Christian faith among enslaved Africans. His efforts helped establish the Baptist denomination in the region, setting the stage for future leaders like William Knibb to continue advocating for both spiritual and social liberation.
