The legacy of Rebecca Protten - Part One


Born a slave in 1718.

Kidnapped at an early age from Antigua;
Converted by her master to Christianity.

Gained her freedom and received a calling by God to bring others to Jesus.

A Moravian missionary in Saint Thomas assisted her in the faith and said about her that she "was very accomplished in the teaching of God."

She worked among and with the Moravians and was instrumental in the conversions of thousands of people, particularly slaves.
