225 years ago -- anniversary of John Wesley's death at age 88 -- also Francis Asbury died March 31, 1816

Remembering the deaths of Wesley and Asbury

NEW YORK (UMNS) — After John Wesley died - 225 years ago this week - Francis Asbury noted in his journal that he probably would never read the works of the founder of Methodism again “without reflecting on the loss which the Church of God and the world has sustained by his death.” Asbury himself died 200 years ago at the end of March.

Thank you as well for sharing the link at your Book tie-in website -- It is very interesting that your trilogy about Rev. Francis Asbury, early Methodist "Bishop" / superintendent in American colonies and free states - nationwide has a modern online component for its sales ! God bless you in this needful effort to "tell the Story" of Jesus Christ and his sacrificial love ! FROM: Pastor Tim Shaw -- IL Great Rivers Annual Conference, near Effingham, IL
