On February 24, 1742, Peter Bohler gathered a group of Moravians who would sail to the American colonies. There they would establish a settlement in what became known as Bethlehem in Pennsylvania. They first began their missionary work to the black slaves and American Indians. The group, as they were to traverse the Atlantic Ocean, became known as the "sea congregation."
The sea congregation understood the words of Paul when he wrote, "I am entrusted with a commission." All of us are commissioned to serve Jesus, whether it be crossing the Atlantic or caring for those in our own community.
