This very personal book tells the story Lily Gaynor's work as a medical mis¬sionary in Guinea-Bissau [It is] a heartening story, [for] which anyone interested not only in evangelisation but in third world development as a whole. Facing all [her obstacles] she suggests that the missionary has to 'keep the fire alive in their heart'., What an exciting life Lily must have lead. This book is wonderful. I enjoyed reading about the trials and tribulations of being a missionary. Lily translates the New testament into Papel for the people of her area. but she has to invent a written alphabet before she can do the translation. This book takes us into the heart of her work. She fights food problems, malaria, an escaped psychiatric patient, Cholera and Rabies. This book holds your interest all the way through. You will find yourself rooting for Lily and her work. She is truly a great woman that devoted her life to God and to doing his work. She is truly an Angel to the people of West Africa.

Synopsis
A tremendously cheerful account of life as a missionary in West Africa. Shrewd and brave, Lily laid the foundations for a flourishing church., In 1957 freshly qualified nurse and WEC missionary Lily Gaynor set sail for Guinea-Bissau, to live among the Papel tribe and bring hope and healing to a land oppressed by disease and spirit worship. Tuberculosis, malaria, and typhoid were rife. Children were grossly malnourished; witch doctors flourished. Lily set up a clinic under the mango trees, administering penicillin--God's needle. Many villagers suffered agonizing toothache: Lily learned emergency dentistry. Medical care didn't stop with people: pigs, cows, rabbits, and hens all passed through Lily's hands. Alongside her medical work she learned Papel, invented an alphabet, and translated the entire New Testament. She faced considerable opposition, not always from expected places. Witchdoctors cursed her; new converts were threatened with death; senior colleagues opposed her medical efforts. Despite all obstacles this remarkable woman helped lay the foundations for a flourishing church. Today Guinea-Bissau has one of the strongest national churches in West Africa., In 1957 freshly qualified nurse and WEC missionary Lily Gaynor set sail for Guinea-Bissau, to live among the Papel tribe. Tuberculosis, malaria, and typhoid were rife. Children were grossly malnourished; witch doctors flourished. Lily set up a clinic under the mango trees, administering penicillin - 'God's needle'. Medical care didn't stop there: pigs, cows, rabbits and hens all passed through Lily's hands. Many villagers suffered agonizing toothache: Lily learned emergency dentistry. The book is filled with one arresting medical story after another. In the evenings she learned Papel, invented an alphabet, and finally translated the entire New Testament, now published with Wycliffe Bible Translators. She faced considerable opposition. Witchdoctors cursed; new converts were threatened with death; senior colleagues opposed her medical efforts. Yet today Guinea-Bissau has one of the biggest national churches in West Africa.
