Professor August Hermann Franke

Educational motivator in the early 1700s who believed that universal literacy was the key to the Great Commission. He believed every person should be able to read and also to learn a skill (or trade). He sought to bring education to all people, regardless of age, gender, race, or class. This was profoundly radical at the time in south India. I love he was described as an educational innovator, because I hope to be an educational innovator through my work with LAMP mentoring and church-school partnerships.
