From the German Methodist experience to a broader mission story, see how faith translated into action across generations. This nonfiction work blends biographical recollections with charts of growth, showing both the personal path to ministry and the real numbers behind a transatlantic religious movement. Readers will encounter conversion stories, calls to service, and the everyday work that sustained a church abroad and at home.
In these pages you’ll find:
- Personal journeys into faith and calls to preach, including vivid moments of doubt, struggle, and calling.
- A clear look at how German Methodists compared to English congregations in support, giving, and growth.
- The role of German Sabbath schools, language needs, and education in shaping a lasting mission.
- Detailed statistics and financials that illuminate how the movement raised resources and sustained ministers.
Ideal for readers of religious history, 19th‑century Methodism, and missionary biography, this edition offers both human stories and the numbers that reveal the scope of the work.
