Best known for instigating the Moravian 'hundred-year prayer meeting' in the German village of Hernnhut, he also mobilized the first great missionary push of the Reformation, successfully propelling the life-changing gospel of salvation by faith in Jesus from that quiet village to the ends of the earth (and this at a time when few people gave any thought to the plight of those beyond the bounds of Christendom). The Moravian mission continues to bear fruit around the world.

In 1999, a small town on the south coast of England became the birthplace of the remarkable, accidental, international movement known as 24-7 Prayer. Their inspiration was a seemingly chance visit by founder Pete Greig to Herrnhut in Germany, where in the eighteenth century Count Nikolaus von Zindendorf had initiated the Moravian prayer watch which ran without ceasing for a hundred years.

Five years later, Phil Anderson and Justin Blake climbed into a tiny 4-seat aeroplane and set off across Europe for Herrnhut, on a remarkable journey to uncover the history of Zinzendorf and the movement he led.

This book is Zinzendorf's story, told through the eyes of a pair of twenty-first century pilgrims seeking to rediscover it afresh. Part biography and part road-trip, it brings the history into vibrant life, while raising deeply prophetic challenges about life and faith today
