Fifty years of correspondence between a missionary in Africa and her family. Christine Helen Cheal [1905-1985] knew without a doubt that God had called her to be a missionary. In 1928, she pencilled a now faded note of promises to God and prayer requests she made while at the Keswick Convention: "I have asked of God, and received by faith, that He will preserve me from ever backsliding into a life apart from His choice for me; that He will make me a shining light by life, deed, work and face, wherever I go; that He will make me a prayer warrior; that He will keep me abiding in Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit so that the love of God may be shed abroad in my heart for Himself, for fellow Christians, and for lost sinners." Follow Christine's letters during her time in Africa throughout the next fifty years, both from family and friends in England and other countries, as well as from Christine in Nigeria.
