May 21st William Farel – Switzerland, Reformer #christianmotivation #truestory #inspirationalstory

What struck you the most in this story? Comment it down below, we would love to know. May 21. William Farel. Farel was a man of intense courage, boldness, and fearlessness, and he eventually became a significant figure in the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. He started out as a pro-Reform Catholic preacher, but the Catholic efforts were too slow for Farel. He moved from France to Switzerland, where he encountered many leaders of the Reformation, including Martin Luther. In Switzerland, Farel traveled from town to town and spread Protestant ideas. Sometimes he was successful, other times, not so much. While in Geneva, he was beaten and shot at, and Genevan authorities kicked him out of the city several times. Because of widespread immorality in Geneva, one Easter Sunday, Farel refused to serve Communion. But he persevered in reaching out to the people, and on this date in 1536, Farel brought the Reformation to Geneva. Together with John Calvin, another Frenchman, Farel continued to work in Geneva until both were expelled in 1538. 365 Christian Men is a daily podcast with inspirational stories about real men.
