In the winter of 1830 a Baptist preacher in London told him about the German Mennonites, and when he returned to Germany he visited Weierhof, Monsheim, Kindenheim, Spitalhof, and Sembach. In 1831 he became acquainted with several congregations in Baden, where "the Easter days passed very pleasantly and blessedly." On 17 April of that year he preached in Spitalhof on the occasion of the baptism of J. Rothen. He also preached at the Weierhof and in Oberflorsheim. He frequently took part in the conferences of the Mennonites in the Palatinate and Hesse. He promoted the publication of the first Palatine hymnal (1832) by friendly persuasion of the opponents of the book.
