Enjoy the message.

I told you last week a story about communist leaders from the

mission trip I went on with people from every campus a couple months ago to Eastern Europe.

I want to tell you another story that I experienced there. We were on a church history tour,

a small group of us, and we went to this very small town where the leader of the

tour said this town was all Moravians, and it became a center for Moravian missionary work in the

1700s. And I had to kind of go back in my brain. I remember in church history class and

Bible college hearing the word Moravians at some point, but didn't really

remember much about them. Later, one of my friends at Southeast would call them the U.S. Navy

seals of Christian missionaries. And we went on this tour, and it was in this crude little museum.

At one point, they had a map on the wall of the world and kind of had a little flag everywhere

they had sent missionaries around the world. At another place, they had a U on the wall of the world and kind of had a little flag everywhere they had

sent missionaries around the world.

At another place they had a US map and it had a list of all the places and years in

which they had planted churches.

And it started in the 1700s and still going today, dozens and dozens and dozens of churches.

My favorite story we learned on that tour though happened in

Greenland. Greenland was a place where they sent two young men as missionaries and this

was a place that was untouched at the time by the gospel. 1700s we're talking about. So they

get on horseback and ride carriages and brave rough seas and crude ships at the time to cross the ocean to get to Greenland and begin their missionary work.
