\"J.E.<\/a>The Moravian Mission began with a visitation of the Holy Spirit on August 13th 1727. It sparked a 24\/7 prayer meeting that lasted or a hundred years and was responsible for sending more that half of the Protestant overseas missionary of the eighteenth century. As no study of missions could be complete without a reference to Count Zinzendorf and the fellowship at Herrnhut (the “Lord Watch”) I am very pleased to be able to upload the official Moravian account of its history.<\/p>\n
