From the Stories of Faith and Fame series - stories of men and women who went all over the world with their Christian faith. From a serious young man, uncertain of his future, John Wesley (1703-1791) became the founder of the Methodist Church. His calm and courageous manner and complete trust in God, more than once carried him safely through threatening mobs. Undeterred, he continued to hold his open air meetings where rich and poor alike would crowd round to listen to him.
