Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf (1700-1760) was a German nobleman and religious leader known for founding the Moravian Church. He played a crucial role in promoting religious tolerance and fostering a community of believers who emphasized personal faith and missionary work. His estate, Herrnhut, became a center for the Moravian movement. Zinzendorf's vision included the establishment of a community that practiced a simple, devout lifestyle. He encouraged the spread of Christianity through missions, leading to the establishment of numerous congregations worldwide. His legacy continues to influence Protestantism and the global missionary movement today.
