Mary Slessor – Forward into Calabar –

“Mary Slessor pondered David Livingstone’s wordt, “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 tweve hours a day. God, Mary prayed, send me somewhere, anywhere, just send me to be a missionary.

God would indeed anser 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. …”
