Before the famous missionary William Carey was born, a group of Christian Moravians sent over 200 missionaries to 28 countries. Join Emma, Grace, and Priscilla as they ask Dr. Ed Smither, professor of Intercultural Studies and History of Global Christianity at Columbia International University and author of many books on church history and missions, to tell us all about the Moravians and their fascinating history.

Time-travel back with Trinity, Grace, and Sean to 18th-century Wales to learn about a series of revivals led by young people who wanted to bring people back to a true worship of God. Listen to Dr. E. Wyn James, professor emeritus in the School of Welsh at Cardiff University and author of several books, as he tells us many fun stories about the 18th-century Welsh Revival.

We’re also pleased to offer our listeners the opportunity to win a free copy of Dr. James’ book, Flame in the Mountains, thanks to the generosity of Y Lolfa Publishers. Enter here to win.

In this episode of Kids Talk Church History, we wrap up our fourteen-episode look at the seventeenth century, a war-torn time when the church crystallized its teachings with catechisms and confessions. Learn from our hosts why these confessions are important, why scholars are not boring, why some missionaries were forced to eat boiled shoes, and many more fun facts. Find out who their favorite characters are and what episodes they liked the best. Also, say goodbye to our veteran host, Lucas, and welcome to our new host, Priscilla. Feel free to write goodbye notes to Lucas and any other comments you want to send us.
