Product Description: By 1727 dissensions had sprung up within the community. Various feuds and grudges were disrupting this happy place. The concerned leaders prayed earnestly about these developing problems and, after a communion service on August 13, 1727, an unusual spiritual awakening swept across the people there.
The whole community sensed that they needed to turn from their pettiness and pursue God's calling. Those with bad attitudes repented, relationships were restored, and an around the clock 24-hour-a-day prayer meeting was begun, with teams taking one hour at a time. (This prayer meeting would go on for over 100 years!)
One of those deeply affected was Anna Nitschmann, then just twelve. She dedicated her life to the Lord's service, and immediately began organizing the young women of the community into a kind of club for worship and ministry. It was this activity that caught the eye of community leaders and made them nominate her for the chief eldress position.
