Among the annals of missionary service around the world are countless true stories of intrepid men and women who are little known today but who endured innumerable dangers, toils, tragedies, and triumphs for the sake of the Gospel. These are not make-believe narratives or fictional tales, but stirring adventures of godly men and women braving wild animals, shipwrecks, and savage natives -- all for the sake of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ. Welcome to The Adventure of Missionary Heroism! Travel with Dr. Chamberlain on his medical journeys through the jungles of India as he outwits tigers and serpents, or live with Stephen and Mary Riggs as they labor among the Sioux Indians. Follow Alexander Mackay through his extraordinary efforts in darkest Africa, or set sail with the intrepid James "Tamate" Chalmers and stand bravely by his side among the head-hunters of New Guinea. May these stories inspire Christians, young and old alike, to give their all for Christ.
