Mary Slessor(Christian Heroes Then And Now)

Mary Slessor (Christian Heroes Then And Now). Paperback.

'I'm not going anywhere', Mary mused. 'I'm twenty-seven years old. I work in a cotton mill twelve hours a day. God,' Mary prayed, 'send me somewhere, anywhere, just send me to be a missionary.' God would indeed answer the prayer. For 39 years, Mary Slessor would labor in love among the tribes of Africa's Calabar region. Braving sickness, danger, and death, Mary became the cherished 'White Ma' to entire tribes. Her faith and pioneering spirit brought an example of the life found in Jesus Christ.

While many missionaries died within months, this fiery mill worker from Scotland labored in love among the unreached tribes of Africa's Calabar region for thirty-nine years (1848-1915).
