Edwin Mendenhall

A man of strong evangelical faith, Edwin Mendenhall surrendered

to a religious calling and enthusiastically told his bishop, I

am your missionary to Wayne County! In 1844, he uprooted

his family and embarked on a journey to the remote northeastern

corner of Pennsylvania, an area he believed was a spiritual fi eld ready

for harvest. Almost forgotten, Mendenhalls story is about a mans

singular mission to share a timeless message of hope. For that cause,

he would devote his life, saying, How thankful I feel that I have

preached full and free salvation . . . in Christ Jesus.
