Compelled

A Beautiful Connection Between People & Songs and Assemblies Of God World Missions

By Jennie Lee Riddle

In August 2019, People & Songs had the holy privilege of worshipping with missionaries from all over the world in a historic, first-time gathering. We stood with them and watched these heroes dedicate and rededicate themselves to the high calling of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Assemblies of God World Missions, for inviting us to be a part of such a humbling moment in time. We are compelled, by the love of Jesus and His heart for people, to also recommit our lives to the only One who is worthy. We joyfully echo the cry of these missionaries, “May the Lamb of God receive the full reward of His suffering.”

“Compelled” was written by Mary Grace, Melanie Tierce and Wesley Nilsen for this gathering. It was inspired by the current missionaries that we have the honor of now serving and ones who have gone before. Here is part of their story:

The Moravian Slaves

A popular story about Christian Missions concerning Johann Leonhard Dober and David Nitschmann, describes how these two young Moravian Brethren from Herrnhut, Germany, were called in 1732 to minister to the African slaves on the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix in the Danish West Indies. Allegedly, when they were told that they would not be allowed to do such a thing, Dober and Nitschmann sold themselves to a slave owner and boarded a ship bound for the West Indies. As the ship pulled away from the docks, it is said that they called out to their loved ones on shore, "May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering!"
