OF PIONEER PREACHERS

God commanded the grandfathers of Israel to teach about their past to both sons and grandsons. Deut. 4:9-10. This was one way to build loyalty in the new generation. We must tell our children and the other new believers about our past. Our past was not perfect, but neither was Israel's. To this end, we have written bulletin inserts that can be included with the Sunday bulletin or can be handed out separately.
These bulletin inserts are condensed versions of the full profiles. Each insert is designed to acquaint the reader with those who came before them and the reader's own Restoration heritage. Each insert contain a box with links for further inquiry.
The names are arranged in a sequence, but could be used in most any order. We recommend that the Amos Harvey presentation be used first.
In a time when our nation lacks heros with character and purpose, the stories of these men and women will help those who share their ideals to become today's heros for the next generation.
The inserts are in Adobe Acrobat format and require the free Acrobat Reader.
