Maud Kells: Fearless in the Forest
$8.99
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.

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.

Amy Carmichael: Rescuer By Night
The Story of Amy Carmichael – in the Trailblazers Series!
Jeya was only four years old and she was terrified in the dark and gloomy temple. Between the pillars there, in the darkness, was a huge stone body. She shivered at the sight of its face. She knew this was Kali, the goddess of death. Why did she have to stay here?
Amy Carmichael, an Irish woman determined to share the love of Christ with the people of India, was used of God to deliver children like Jeya from such idols and the temple-slavery. Her story will linger long in the heart of any child who reads it.
