“Tell them about the Lamb of God till you can tell them no more.”
Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf
1700-1760
Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf became the father of the eighteenth century Moravian missionary movement. When he permitted a group of refugees to settle on his estate in Saxony in 1722, he had no idea that from this group the gospel would spread to Greenland, the West Indies, North America, Central America and Africa.
Zinzendorf became a visionary, practical helper, traveling missionary and second bishop of the Moravian church. He maintained an intense personal piety and enthusiasm that grew out of his childhood faith. He was determined to cling to the doctrine of redemption by the blood of Christ and to lay the atonement as the foundation of all other faiths.(Source lausanneworldpulse.com December 2007 Issue)
