Illness, disease and malnutrition killed many children before they reached the age of five. Mary was lucky–born into a poor family, abused by her father she was still alive. Dundee was Mary’s training ground for a far fiercer battle. Mary left the shores of Scotland while only in her early twenties to immerse herself in reaching the lost tribes of Calibar in West Africa. Her preparation in the slums of Dundee was the key ingredient to her success on the mission field…that and her tireless trust and belief in her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
