About this product

Product Information

Diana Witts was drawn to East Africa by the snow-capped mountains on the Equator. Once there she experienced a call of a different kind that led her to share her life with Maasai in Kenya, with impoverished villagers in Zaire and with shattered communities in war-torn Sudan. In even the most dire situations she met those who faced their suffering with deepened faith, courage and hope and they became for her, as she would like them to become for us, 'springs of hope'. She was an innovator, from the time that she took on the demanding job of introducing girls to Gordonstoun, the first major British boys' public school to go fully co-educational, to the time when she became the first woman General Secretary of the Church Mission Society. Over those years she gained a wide perspective on world mission, extending her travels to countries across Asia. She thus brings together, in this lively and compelling memoir, rare insights into village life in Africa with perceptions drawn from the richness of the world church.
