Audrey Featherstone, I presume? : the amazing story of a Congo missionary / Tim Shenton

Through her faith in Christ, Audrey Featherstone (born 1922) overcame a broken home, the privations of wartime London, and her own shyness and lack of confidence to become a dedicated servant of God in one of the most strife-torn regions of Africa - the Congo. Audrey became a Christian in London during the turmoil of World War II, and succeeded in training for overseas missionary work with the evangelical "Regions Beyond" missionary union (RBMU). In late 1946, Audrey set sail for Congo, and spent the next 23 years there ministering alongside her husband Elleea, enduring the hazards of equatorial living conditions and the upheavals of Congo's anti-colonial struggle. The story of Audrey Featherstone will inspire all who read it - it includes her dramatic conversion, her experiences during the Second World War at the time of the London bombings, her adventures on the way to Congo and her twenty-five years' service in that nation. Audrey's life is an adventure story with danger, excitement, romance, fear, heartbreak and so much more.--Publisher
