Whole Church Mission: The Vision of the Moravians

Be inspired by one of the earliest protestant movements, whose concern for the lost was so great that they were willing to be sold into slavery to reach slaves for Christ. The Moravian church placed a high emphasis on worldwide mission, sending out some of the first Protestant missionaries. Within 25 years, 100 Moravians were missionaries, more than the rest of the Protestant church had sent out in two centuries.

They helped shape the evangelical convictions of John and Charles Wesley and influenced the wider evangelical revival of the eighteenth century. Their distinctive views on personal conversion, assurance and mysticism, however, also led to theological tensions with the Wesley brothers and George Whitefield.
