The years from Andrew Bonar's ordination in 1838 to his removal to Glasgow in 1856 proved to be a crucial period in his life. He traveled in 1839 with three other ministers, including Robert Murray M'Cheyne, to various parts of Europe and the Middle East to engage in missionary work among the Jews in those places. Out of that experience arose Bonar's life long interest in evangelism among the Jewish people. In 1843, he was deeply affected by the death of M'Cheyne, an event that occurred just a few months before Bonar followed the lead of Thomas Chalmers in joining about 400 ministers in seceding from the Church of Scotland to form the Free Church of Scotland. For Bonar and his congregation in Collace, the Disruption meant leaving their church building and minister's home behind and starting over on new property. In 1848, he married and welcomed several children into his home beginning in 1850. In addition to his other ministerial responsibilities, he devoted time to writing with his biography of M'Cheyne and his Commentary on Leviticus both appearing in the middle 1840s.
