The story of Methodist Church actually started from the Wesley family. John Wesley (1703-1791) and Charles Wesley (1707-1788) were born in the village of Epworth, Lincolnshire. Their parents are Samuel and Susannah Wesley. Samuel is the principal of the Episcopal Church and Susanna is a wonderful woman who spends a lot of time praying for her family. In 1709, a serious fire occurred to the president, John Wesley almost died. His mother thought he was rescued for a special purpose - "a brand removed from burning"

John Wesley and his brother Charles Wesley left for Georgia from Georgia, Charles as a secretary for James Oglethorpe, John was a pastor of George Dynasty settlers. John Wesley 's time in Georgia was an unpleasant time as he wanted to be a missionary to the Indians, and he fell in love with a young woman who chose to marry other men. James Oglethorpe arrived in England in January and tried to collect money and personnel from Congress to defend Georgia with Fort Frederica. He successfully obtained funds and 600 soldiers, while in the UK he was named "Colonel of the American foot to protect his Majesty's plantation". He returned to Georgia in July.

John Wesley (1703-91): Bailey's son seems to have been named after John Wesley, the Minister of the English Church of the 18th century. Co-founded Methodist School. When young, Wesley emigrated from England to Savannah, Georgia, and led a group of settlers. After suggesting to a woman who chose to marry someone else, Wesley returned to England and was there. When Wesley died in 1791, there were more than 110,000 fans in the United Kingdom and the United States in the Methodist Church - a Christian sect which he founded with his brother Charles and their friends George Whitefield.
