Andrew (Ofodobendo Wooma) (1729-1779) This Moravian memoir recounts the life of Andrew the Moor, originally named Ofodobendo Wooma, who was born in Africa and sold into slavery before arriving in New York in 1741. After meeting Moravian Brethren while enslaved in New York, he learned about Christianity, taught himself to read, and developed a deep faith in the Savior. He moved to Bethlehem in 1746, was baptized into the Moravian Church, married, raised a family, and lived a faithful and devoted life within the congregation. In his final illness he longed to be united with Christ, and he died peacefully surrounded by the Moravian community.
