Episode 3 - Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa
"Lord, the task is impossible for me, but not for thee. Lead the way and I will follow." - Mary Slessor (1848-1915), Missionary in West Africa
Ben and Dan discuss the inspiring life of Mary Slessor. Born to an impoverished family in Scotland and raised in the textile mills of the industrial revolution, Slessor was called to serve in complex and dangerous circumstances in Nigeria. Ben and Dan's conversation nuances the complexities of 19th century missionary movements and reflects on the Christian valuation of every human life as made in the image of God.
