Women Worth Knowing

Born to migrant workers, Rose grew up feeling out of place in American culture and yet not fully comfortable in Mexican culture. By the time Rose went to high school, the discomfort drew her to a search for truth, which she heard and received at a Billy Graham Crusade. After high school, Rose married her boss and moved to San Diego county where she volunteered and served at her church. She taught school for several years before she and her husband felt called to the mission field. They eventually moved to serve at a Christian Bible college in Vajta, Hungary. From the outpost there, she and her husband went on many outreaches all over Europe and Africa. Currently, Rose and her husband live in Japan, where she is a teacher at the American base. Both she and her husband are also very involved with the chaplaincy on the base in Tokyo.

While Robin was watching a movie about Dr. Livingstone (“I presume”), she was surprised to find out he had a wife. This prompted a deep dive into the life of Mary Moffat Livingstone.
Join Robin and Cheryl as they discuss the interesting life of Mary in two episodes.

Mary was raised in South Africa as the oldest daughter of Scottish missionaries. She became the lifelong companion of the famous missionary doctor and explorer, Dr. David Livingstone. Would you believe it was a lion that brought them together?
Mary was an accomplished linguist. She crossed the Kalahari desert twice, traveling 1,500 miles each time and doing so with small children. Her fifth child was born on the second journey. Nothing in her life turned out the way she expected, which is why this prayer, written by Mary, is so poignant: “Accept me, Lord, as I am, and make me such as Thou wouldst have me to be.”

As a young woman, Lynne became somewhat jaded to Christianity because of a negative experience her parents had with a church. She only agreed to go to Bible college because her best friend was going and it afforded her the opportunity to live in Southern California. When Lynne surrendered to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and gave her life to Jesus, she could only think of what she was giving up to follow Him. She came to realize, however, as she surrendered more and more to the Lord, that God had great things in store for her, including marrying the love of her life and serving in Africa!
