As we continue to revisit the foundation of this advent movement, it is essential that we acquaint ourselves with the individuals that the Lord used mightily in its inception. Routinely, I will be posting biographical information on leading figures of the advent movement, William Miller, James White, J.N. Andrews, Joseph Bates, J.N. Andrews, John Loughborough, Rachel Oakes, Uriah Smith, O.R.L. Crozier, A.T. Jones, E.G. Waggoner, Stephan Haskell, John Harvey Kellogg, etc. I pray that as you read about these individuals you will be inspired.
