In 1861, 381 missionaries were paid for 1.8 million home visits. This led to an astonishing total of more than 12 visits per day, 365 days per year by each missionary. During those 1.8 million home visits, 2.7 printed tracts were handed out, meaning on average each person accepted one or two. These visits resulted in 307 poor people attending church for the first time, 3,500 being baptized and 48 persons who were living in sin deciding to marry their partners.
