STILL SURRENDERED MORE ABOUT NICK COUNT NICHOLAUS LUDWIG VON ZINZENDORF The Moravian Brethren took the Great Commission to heart, paving the way for the great era of modern missions.

A prayer vigil was begun that continued around the clock, seven days a week, without interruption for more than one hundred years. Ruth Tucker From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya
STILL SURRENDERED MORE ABOUT NICK COUNT NICHOLAUS LUDWIG VON ZINZENDORF Zinzendorf s contribution to missions is best seen in the lives of the men and women who accepted his challenge to forsake all for the sake of the gospel.
