More Details

Summary:

In 1732 Leonard Dolber and David Nitschmann, two young Moravians, left their comfortable community of Herrnhut, Germany, to preach to the slaves in the West Indies. They went, willing to become slaves themselves, in order to minister to these oppressed people. This video (in a dramatic reconstruction) portrays "the sufferings they endured for their missionary zeal" and the "agony of their community in reaching the decision to send them forth at a time when missions to the heathen masses were unthinkable among Protestants."
