The Witness to Willhelm Lange

Willhelm Lange is one person who was converted to Christianity due to his interaction with non-resistant Christians. While he had apparently been raised as a Protestant, Wilhelm, sought Christ after attempting to help the government take over Christian schools. At a German Mennonite community he was impressed by the Mennonites there who, instead of fighting back, lived out their love for Christ and won Wilhelm over.*

The Mennonites weren't looking to save their school. To be sure, they would have been sorry to have it removed, but they trusted Christ not their own strength. They took Christ's teachings literally and loved their enemy instead of fighting him.
