Weak People Are God’s Winners (1 Samuel 2:4; 2 Corinthians 12:10)
Persecuted Christians who were followers of Jan Hus, found refuge on the estate of Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf in Saxony, in 1722. These refugees built small homes and developed a community of believers who spread the gospel around the world in the next 100 years. It was the most effective world mission since the church began in 33 AD. The “Daily Texts” were carried with these messengers and as a result it is translated into more than 50 languages. You can read more about this on page 176 in your “Daily Texts” book. Our pilgrimage tour next year begins right after Easter on April 21. At the end of our tour, we will spend a night in Herrnhut learning all about this history and how the texts are chosen annually. Then we will go to Prague to discover the foundation of the Moravian’s faith in the message of Jan Hus who was burned as a martyr in July of 1415. When he died he prophesied, “you can burn this goose (Hus) today but 100 years from now God will raise up a swan and him you shall not kill.” That swan was Martin Luther. And he once said about the ministry and message of Hus, “we are all Husites.” To learn more about this amazing adventure next year, go to reformationtours.com and scroll down to the images of Martin and Katy. We would love to have you join us on this great discovery of how weak people change the world with the strength of God.
