Missionary Mary Slessor

      I am privileged to read a missionary story every week in Jr. church....let me just say, it has been a challenge to me reading about each missionary!  Tomorrow, I will finish the story about Mary Slessor.  Mary was a young British girl who at a young age determined that she was going to serve the Lord! Although, not only was she determined to serve the Lord, she was determined to serve the Lord anywhere! Mary was a missionary to Africa for 36 years! Mary spent a few years in each village and every time she would go deeper into the jungle: each village was worse than the one before!  Mary did not have fear of what man would do! Her courage came from the Lord!  At one point in Mary's life, she lay sick in bed back home in Scotland: Mary over heard people talking about a tribe in Africa called the Aros - a vicious cannibal tribe.  When Mary heard this, she sat up in bed and said, "Aros, Sure, I'd like to meet them!"
     What an amazing testimony Mary had! All 36 years she spent in Africa, she called for help...not one person came to help (long term).... 
      What is the Lord asking you to do? Is He simply asking you to talk to your neighbour or maybe your co-worker, or someone else in your family?  Mary gave her life!  Can we not give at least a day?

     Pray for your missionaries, give to your missionaries....or are we better than the lost around the world....like the unlearned, the poor, or the cannibals?  WOULD YOU CONSIDER GOING YOURSELF?!?!?!
