“They cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or at least making some ways toward it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world, even though they should be but stepping stones to others in the performance of so great a work.”
William Bradford (1590 – 1657)
Join us again this year in Central Illinois, October 19-21, for the 2012 Reformation Day Faire! This year, we invite you to learn from the lives of William Bradford, Cotton Mather, David Brainerd, Anne Bradstreet, and Jonathan Edwards. Learn about their courage, learn about their faith, learn how they changed the world! And learn how God could use you to be an agent for change today!
