God's Hands on Earth

Martin Luther witnessed the power of the printed word and how desperate people were to read and think for themselves.

He wanted people to be able to read the Bible in their own language (German) instead of Latin which only the priests could read.

With the help of the printed word and interpreters of the Latin word, he made this dream a reality. People all over Germany could take their own Bible in their hands and they could read it for themselves. It did not make for a life without struggle for Martin Luther, but he chose to

continue in the storm that his life became.

He became God's hands on earth and he reached out to many others to do the same.
