William Bradford, Governor of Plymouth Colony wrote in 1647 concerning the coming of the Pilgrims to America – “Last and not least, they cherished a great hope and inward zeal of laying good foundations, or at least making some ways toward it, for the propagation and advance of the gospel of the kingdom of Christ in the remote parts of the world, even though they should be but stepping stones to others in the performance of so great a work.” Foremost in the minds of the pilgrims when they came to these shores was to advance the kingdom of Christ through the establishment of a nation that would honor God and live by His principles and pass this heritage along to others.
