I do not know if you are familiar with the group called, “Moravian’s.” I find little has been written about this courageous band of believers. They took God literally when He said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” At the time, it is said of them that they sent out more missionaries in 20 years than the whole Church had in the previous 200 years.
These people sold themselves into life-long slavery so that they might win those who were themselves in bondage. They joined leper colonies, knowing the suffering that awaited them and their families. And what was this little remnant’s secret? Simple, it is recorded they had round-the-clock unbroken prayer for 100 years.
Their missionary banner cry originated from one of the two young men to first surrender themselves into a life-long ministry to a leper colony.
Both boys were barely out of their teens. As they pulled away from shore, a loved one from the dock cried out once again the repeated question, “Why are you going”? After a moment’s pause, one of the young men cried at the top of his voice, for all to hear, “May the Lamb who was slain receive the reward of his suffering!” And may nothing ever be added to this!
“Who they were nobody knows, what they did, everybody knows.”
