After joining the Moravian Church in Germany, artist John Valentine Haidt (1700-1780) moved to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania in 1754, where he painted under the auspices of the Moravian church. In First Fruits,, Haidt depicted twenty-five people of different faiths and ethnicities who had gone to Heaven after their conversion to Christianity by Moravian missionaries.

Lezing over het schilderij De Eerstelingen Credit: moravian archives Zeist
Op het boeiende schilderij uit 1747 vereeuwigde predikant en schilder Johann Valentin Haidt de overleden eerste bekeerlingen die voortkwamen uit het zendingswerk van de Broedergemeente. Het schilderij - dat hangt in de Kleine Zaal van de Broedergemeente - verhaalt onder meer van de zendingsreizen van de Herrnhutters, want de afgebeelden stammen van verschillende plaatsen in de wereld, zoals Groenland. Markus Gill is voorganger bij de Broedergemeente.
