COUNT ZINZENDORF Documentary Series
Once in a while someone comes along who has a profound effect on the course of future history. Count Zinzendorf was one of those remarkable people. Born into nobility in 1700, he put aside a life of wealth, politics and privilege to follow God’s call. He established a refugee settlement for persecuted Christians. This remarkable community experienced a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit which led them to a passionate concern for worldwide missions. Under Zinzendorf’s leadership they set the stage for the modern missionary movement as we know it today.

This exclusive video features a compelling dramatic recreation of Count Zinzendorf as he tells the story of the Moravian renewal experience of 1727 and the development of the first mission to St. Thomas; in a separate section, Zinzendorf scholar Dr. Craig Atwood interviews the Count about his beliefs and the controversies surrounding his life.  The script was compiled from actual sections of Zinzendorf's public speeches, and probably conveys the beliefs and dynamic personality of the controversial Count better than any other resource.  The program is divided into three half-hour sections for ease of use in Sunday School classes, Inquirers' classes, and Confirmation classes.  Taped before a live audience.
