Anthony Norris Groves
Anthony Norris Groves (1795–1853) was a British Christian missionary and one of the early leaders of the Plymouth Brethren movement. He is considered a pioneer of "faith missions," relying solely on God for financial support rather than seeking funding from missionary societies. Groves authored "Christian Devotedness," which advocated for living simply and dedicating one's wealth to God's service, and "Journal of a Residence at Baghdad" detailing his missionary work in the Middle East. His life and teachings influenced notable figures like George Müller and shaped the practice of evangelical missions.
