Jesse Nathaniel Smith — Spiritual Guidance in the Scandinavian Mission

During his service as the president of the Scandinavian Mission in 1861, Jesse Nathaniel Smith faced intense legal and social opposition while preaching in Denmark. He recorded receiving specific 'guidance from the Spirit' that directed his movements and administrative decisions. This divine direction allowed him to navigate complex interactions with local authorities and identify specific areas where the population was spiritually prepared to receive the Gospel, resulting in significant missionary success.
