Discover the remarkable work of a humble pastor who built a global mission from a small German village. This concise account follows Louis Harms and the church at Hermansburg as they launch a brave, self‑funded mission to Africa, train missionaries, and create a lasting collaboration between faith, industry, and education.
The narrative highlights how a plain, devout community transformed itself into a powerful missionary force. It shows how rigorous study, practical labor, and unwavering prayer prepared twelve volunteers to carry the gospel to the Gallas and other tribes, laying a foundation for schools, farms, and workshops that supported both spiritual and temporal growth. It also chronicles the expansion of the mission ship Candace, multiple reinforcement voyages, and the growth of settlements across a vast African landscape under generous, ongoing support from both local donors and distant allies.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Louis Harms, a 19th century Lutheran pastor, whose congregation established a mission to the Gallas tribes in Africa. Drawing inspiration from the Acts of the Apostles, a group of 12 of Harms' parishioners volunteered to go to Africa to spread the Gospel. With limited resources but unwavering faith, they built their own ship, raised funds through prayer, and set sail for the mission field. Despite initial setbacks, the missionaries persevered, learning the local language and establishing schools and churches. Their efforts sparked a spiritual awakening among the Gallas, leading to numerous conversions and a decline in pagan practices. The book highlights the transformative power of prayer, faith, and the willingness to sacrifice for the spread of Christianity. It offers a compelling account of the challenges and triumphs faced by early missionaries and provides valuable insights into the history of Christian missions.
