Mary Slessor - Christian Heroes

Mary Slessor pondered David Livingstone's words, "I don't care where we go as long as we go forward." 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 of the fiery, red-haired woman from Scotland. For thirty-nine years, Mary Slessor would labor in love among the unreached, often treacherous, tribes of Africa's Calabar region. Braving sickness, danger, and death on all sides, Mary became the cherished "White Ma" to entire tribes. Her faith, steadfastness, and pioneering spirit brought her beloved adopted people their first brilliant, contrasting example of the life and freedom found in Jesus Christ. Christian Heroes: Then & Now chronicles the exciting, challenging, and deeply touching true stories of ordinary men and woment whose trust in God accomplished extraordinary exploits for His kingdom and glory.
