Mary Slessor

Description:

Mary heard that David Livingston had died and she knew she wanted to assist and continue the work of God in Africa. Soon thereafter she boarded an ocean liner.

Her Presbyterian Denomination in Scotland did not allow women to preach.... unless they did it far away from Scotland.

There are a number of statues of her in Scotland and Nigeria. She is depicted holding two precious African children in her arms. She had taught the natives that twin children were a blessing and not a curse... to be sacrificed.
