Moravian Inspired "Follow the Lamb"
The "Follow The Lamb" T-shirt is inspired by the missionary tales of the Moravian church. The now famous Moravian seal which reads, “our lamb has conquered, let us follow him.” continues to spur on missional zeal for all of those that have been acquainted with the story,
On July 6th, 1415 Czech theologian and reformer John Hus was burned at the stake for protesting the hierarchical structure and biblical inaccuracies of the Roman Catholic church. Adherents of Hus’s teaching would go onto found what we refer to today as the Moravian church. By 1517 the Moravian church numbered 200,000+ believers with over 400 parishes (churches). In the eighteenth century the Moravians would see a corporate renewal marked by prayer and missionary zeal. Due to persecution occurring in Bohemia and Moravia, modern-day Czech Republic and Slovak Republic, an Austrian aristocrat named Count Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf, opened his home stay in Saxony, Germany to Moravian believers that needed a refuge. It was here that Zinzendorf felt compelled to have a half-night prayer meeting that turned into a 24/7 prayer movement that would last 100 years. Meaning, that for 100 years straight there was someone praying during every hour of the day. Out of that posture of prayer, missionary zeal grew naturally in a rapid fashion. By the year 1760 the Moravians had sent 226 missionaries to live and work amongst some of the most destitute places on earth.
Among those that were sent cross culturally were John Leonard Dober, a potter by trade, and David Nitschman, a carpenter. These men had a desire to take the gospel to slaves working in the Danish West Indies. It is famously recounted that when they were denied access to board the ship bound for the place to which they had been called, Dober and Nitschman sold themselves into slavery and boarded the vessel as purchased property. On October 8th, 1732 as the ship sailed away it is said that they shouted back to their onlooking brethren, “May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!"
