Messengers of the Risen Son in the Land of the Rising Sun: Single Women Missionaries in Japan

Description

The complete story of the church in Japan is broad and encompasses married couples, single men and women, and native evangelists. This book endeavors to tell the story of a small segment of those who went to Japan before World War II - the single women who dared to do what few men were willing to do. They left their families and friends to cross nearly six thousand miles of ocean, alone, in order to take the gospel to the people of Japan in the early years of the twentieth century. -- introduction.
