November 9. William Bradford. In England in the early 17th century, a group of people longed to break free of government-controlled religion and serve God from their hearts.

November 8. Nicolaus Copernicus. After Copernicus earned a doctorate in church law, he became a church administrator and a medical doctor.

He was the first to propose that […] The post Nicolaus Copernicus, Poland, Astronomer first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

November 7. John Jay. In the colonies, Jay was a successful lawyer.

November 5. John G. Paton. Two weeks after John married Mary, the young couple headed for the mission field—an island full of people who carried spears, wore only paint, and sometimes dined on their fellow islanders. On this date in 1858, John arrived on Tanna, a New Hebrides Island.  Some months later, John and Mary had a son. Within another month, mother and baby were […] The post John G. Paton, Scotland, Missionary first appeared on 365 Christian Men.

November 4. Peter Waldo. Waldo never meant to start his own movement. It just happened that when he came to know and love Christ, he immersed himself in Scripture. And when what went on in Church didn’t match up with what went on in Scripture, Waldo refused to keep quiet.  When an archbishop rebuked him, Waldo went to […] The post Peter Waldo, France, Forerunner of the Reformation first appeared on 365 Christian Men.
