Thomas, they lived frugally and preached to the slaves, and they had significant success. They left Copenhagen on October 8, 1732, and arrived in St.
What is clear is that when asked by a court official how they would support themselves, Nitschmann replied, “We shall work as slaves among the slaves.” Another point is also clear. Another source shared the story that as they boarded a ship bound for the West Indies, and the ship pulled away from the docks, loved ones on shore cried out, “May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!” It is not clear that they actually became slaves.

God will not call ALL of us to do this – but he may call YOU. I am, however, going to speak about a radical kind of personal commitment. Rest easy, I am not going to be asking you to walk on a high wire a thousand feet in the air. He trusted his abilities and took on what could only be termed RADICAL COMMITMENT.
