Count von Zinzendorf
Count von Zinzendorf, born Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf in 1700, was a German nobleman and a key figure in the Moravian Church. He is best known for his role in the revival of the Moravian community in Herrnhut, which he founded in 1722. Zinzendorf emphasized personal faith and community living, promoting a strong sense of mission and outreach.
Zinzendorf's leadership led to the establishment of the first Protestant mission in the modern sense, sending missionaries to places like Greenland and the West Indies. His efforts significantly influenced the spread of Christianity and the development of Protestant missions worldwide.
