When thirty seven year-old Australian dentist, Graham Toulmin, told his bank manager in 1985 he was selling his practice and moving, with his wife Wendy and four young children, to a remote location in Central Africa to try to set up a pioneering dental service within the Anglican Church, the response was, 'Toulmin, you've got rocks in your head'!Long Road to Zaïre, told with compassion, insight and more than a dash of humour, is the inspiring story of the Toulmin's journey that led to this family of six leaving Australia and arriving in the bustling African town of Butembo in the mountainous region of eastern Zaïre.Looking back over half a lifetime, Graham addresses the question that their bank manager raised, a question that some of their children, now adults with children of their own, have also jokingly raised: 'Mum and Dad, what were you thinking'?This is the story of 'why' and 'how' Graham and Wendy embarked on their long road to Zaïre, beginning for Graham when, growing up as a boy in the town of Wollongong, south of Sydney, he was forced to make an emergency trip to the dentist.

Drivers gave a thumbs up. Sam suddenly became a wonderful way to meet strangers.You may not have a dog you can use to reach the lost, but this book will tell you how you can use what you do have to fulfill the Great Commission.The book also looks at Jesus' last words on the cross, where He continually used what He had-even His dying breath-to reach out to the lost, leaving us an example to follow.

Mari Eygabroad was ready to be a single missionary in Ukraine, providing physical therapy for disabled children and education for their caregivers. But her meticulously laid plans were about to get a God-sized edit. When her senior pastor suggested she pray about marrying Bryan, a missionary pilot in Africa, she thought God was crazy. After much thought and prayer and scrolling through Bryan's online social page, Mari chose to join him. And she was completely unprepared for the path God had laid before her. Mari and her husband were, in a sense, "paired up in a cramped cockpit, trying to figure out how to work, live, and be together all day, every day without the luxury of a handbook." This isn't your average missionary story-this is a missionary manual for spouses who want to best support their husbands on the mission field. Written in a poignant and humorous tone, Living Uprooted: Encouragement for the Missionary Wife is the book the author wished she'd had and is intended to prepare the next missionary wife for her unique role in overseas missions.

This book analyzes the memoirs of 42 'missionary kids' - the children of North American Protestant missionaries in countries all over the world during the 20th century. Using a postcolonial lens the book explores ways in which the missionary enterprise was part of, or intersected with, the Western colonial enterprise, and ways in which a colonial mindset is unconsciously manifested in these memoirs. The book explores how the memoirists' sites and experiences are exoticized; the missionary kids' likelihood of learning - or not learning - local languages; the missionary families' treatment of servants and other local people; and gender, race and social class aspects of the missionary kids' experiences. Like other Third Culture Kids, the memoirists are migrants, travelers, border-crossers and border-dwellers who alternate between insider and outsider statuses, and their words shed light on the effects of movement and travel on children's lives and development.

"Come Back Tomorrow": African Memories documents the history of the Carmelite Mission in Uganda back to the recommendation of Pope Paul VI. The Holy Father encouraged the traditional religious orders of the Church to go to Africa to enrich the Church with their distinctive charisms. The Discalced Carmelites responded by bringing their charism of interior prayer. Their Generalate in Rome called upon the California-Arizona Province to rise to this task, and they are meeting this challenge with generosity.One of the founding members, Fr David Costello, shares a lively eyewitness account of his memories in Uganda and Kenya. He draws on the spiritual resources of his Order and brings his own pastoral experience to create a treasure for future missionaries.As younger Ugandan Carmelites take over the work in Uganda, "Come Back Tomorrow" is a hope-filled account of how God has generously blessed the Carmelite vine in Uganda.
