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

  10. 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. Their sole motivation was Christ’s sacrificial love for the world, and it was with that message that they went to the ends of the earth. Ruth Tucker – From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya
