    Maud Kells: Fearless in the Forest

    At 25 years of age Maud Kells went to the Congo as a medical missionary with WEC International. She went to replace others who had been recently martyred. Years later she herself found herself close to death on the floor of her own operating room. A rebel soldier’s bullet went straight through her and only the Lord’s grace and her presence of mind saved her life in the end. Pushing her back against the wall to stop the flow of blood, she gave herself enough time for other medical staff to come to her aid.

    This is the story of a young Irish girl who went to Africa despite her family’s objections due to the crystal clear call on her life of a God who assured her, ‘I am with you I am all you need’. Maud found that out to be absolutely true in all circumstances.

  • Nate Saint: Operation Auca

    Nate Saint peered eagerly over the edge of his brother Sam’s biplane, named Challenger. His heart thumped against his ribs in anticipation of takeoff. It was Nate’s first flight, but it would be one of many that would eventually take him into the jungles of Ecuador to bring the truth of God’s Word to the elusive Auca tribe.

    On January 8, 1956, Nate and other missionaries landed on a strip of sand that they had named Palm Beach. This was Nate’s final flight — for he and the other missionaries on the plane were martyred that very day, when Auca tribesmen attacked them with spears. However, the work of evangelism continued. Many heard Nate’s story and became missionaries. Others heard God’s Word and began to follow Christ, even including several of the Auca men who had, with their spears, murdered the first missionaries who came to them on that terrible day! A story of God’s remarkable work going on, when all hope seems lost.

  • Return of the White Book: True Stories of God at Work in Southeast Asia

    The story of how the Gospel came to the Karen tribes in Southeast Asia. The people lived in the mountains and were persecuted by the Burmese. Their stories and songs spoke of the creation of the world by “Yuwah” and the first humans’ disobedience and capture and slavery to an enemy and evil spirits called “nats”. “Yuwah” left them and they had to constantly appease these “nats”.

    However, there was a ray of hope because it was predicted that one day there would be a pale brother who would come to the nation with a White Book. Thabew from the Karen people met Adoniram Judson, the first American missionary and was the first of many of his people to come to faith in Christ as they had been anticipating the Gospel message for generations.

  • Robert Moffat: Africa’s Brave Heart (Irene Howat)

    The story of a Scottish minister and his wife in Africa – the precursors to David Livingstone. With a sword, a shovel, a Bible, and great courage, Robert used the skills he had learned growing up in a Scottish village to translate the Bible into Tswana and to share God’s love with Africa.

    Robert Moffat could think on his feet and use his hands. He was strong, practical, and just the sort of guy you needed to back you up when you were in a difficult spot. Not only that, he had courage – loads of it! And he longed to bring the good news of Jesus Christ to the people of Africa.

    As Robert faced the dangers of drought, wild animals, and even the daggers and spears of the people he had come to help, he used his unique collection of talents to spread the gospel. He became known as “Africa’s Brave Heart”, as he blazed a trail into unknown regions, starting a work on that dark continent which continues to this day.

    Robert Moffat and his wife preceded David Livingstone to Africa, and helped him to learn enough about Africa to begin to yearn to go there himself. After some meetings in the United Kingdom, David Livingstone married the Moffat’s daughter, Mary.

  • John G. Paton: The Autobiography

    The autobiography of John G. Paton contains everything necessary to make it a missionary classic. Born into a Christian family near Dumfries in 1824, Paton’s early years were marked by a struggle against poverty. He was self-educated, and the training ground for his life’s work was the slums of Glasgow where he laboured with success as a city missionary.

    With ‘the wail of the perishing heathen in the South Seas’ continually sounding in his ears, he prepared himself to serve overseas and was ordained as a missionary to the New Hebrides in 1858. This group of thirty mountainous islands, so named by Captain Cook, with its unhealthy climate, was then inhabited by savages and cannibals.

    The first attempt to introduce Christianity to them resulted in John Williams and James Harris being clubbed to death within a few minutes of landing in 1839. The difficulties that confronted Paton were accentuated by the sudden death of his wife and child within months of their arrival. Against the savagery and the superstition, despite the trials and the tragedies, Paton persevered and witnessed the triumph of the gospel in two of these South Sea islands. His life is almost without parallel in missionary annals and his account of it is moving and gripping.

  • The Cambridge Seven (John Pollock)

    The True Story of Ordinary Men Used in no Ordinary Way

    Harold Schofield, a brilliant Oxford doctor who had laboured as a missionary in China for many years, was on his knees praying, ‘Lord, give me missionaries from British Universities to help in China’.

    The day Schofield died, D. E. Hoste applied to Hudson Taylor for mission work in the China Inland Mission (Now Overseas Missionary Fellowship). Schofield’s prayer was answered as seven Cambridge students volunteered to leave behind cozy lives of wealth and privilege to serve God in whatever way they were led.

    These seven inspired thousands of others to think seriously of missionary service. Included among them was C.T. Studd, captain of England and the finest cricketer of his day. If he could give all that up, then so could anyone!

  • The White Chief of Cache Creek (Faith M. Martin & Charles R. McBurney)

    In 1889, William Work Carithers went to Oklahoma with two urgent goals—bringing the good news of Christ to the Indians, and helping them gain skills necessary to survive the white culture that was about to engulf them. But he had only twelve years before white settlers arrived on the reservation, 30,000 in a single day.

    The effect on the Indian way of life was devastating. The narrative follows Carithers to the end of his life, when his once successful mission begins to falter, and he assesses what has been accomplished.

  • To Every Tribe with Jesus: Understanding and Reaching Tribal Peoples for Christ (David Sitton)

    For anyone who aspires to serve in foreign missions, particularly to unreached tribes and people-groups, here is one of the most important books you can ever read. The author has devoted the last 32 years of his life to reaching such groups. Foreword by Dr. Ralph Winter.

    “Out of his 32 years of learning-while-doing among various tribes of Papua New Guinea, David Sitton provides a handbook for tribal ministry that is both informative and intensely practical. Our passion to reach the remaining unreached tribes will surely grow as the lessons David sets forth are absorbed. The planting of strong New Testament churches among them will be speeded along as these well-attested lessons are applied! I urge all missions-aware Christians to both read To Every Tribe With Jesus and then recommend it to others.”
    — Don Richardson, veteran missionary and author of Peace Child.

Judson’s example was an inspiration to untold thousands in his own day and still has the power to encourage and instruct believers today.
