At the end of her life, she risked her friends, family, and ministry for truth. After a lifetime of evangelical missionary work in China, Leona Choy thought her 30th book, her autobiography, was her final book. She never dreamed she would write a sequel that would chronicle her surprise faith paradigm shift into the joyous fullness of biblical faith in the Catholic Church - her "Land of MORE." Her attempts to rescue a Calvinist friend who had become Catholic catapulted her on a biblical and historical search through a maze of misinformation. At the age of 80, she faced abandoning her lifelong reputation in evangelical leadership, the potential misunderstanding of family, friends and coworkers, and losing readers of the books she wrote from a Protestant perspective. Leona counted the cost and courageously took the risks rather than reject the truth she believed God showed her in the Catholic Church.
It was not the European and American churches which evangelised Africa, but the mission societies. The missions from the Great Awakening such as the London Missionary Society and Church Missionary Society, or the Holy Ghost Fathers and the White Fathers, which started the process of Sub-Saharan Africa becoming a Christian continent are well known and documented. Less known, and less documented are the interdenominational faith missions which began in 1873 with the aim of visiting the still unreached areas of Africa: North Africa, the Sudan Belt and the Congo Basin. Missions such as the Africa Inland Mission or Sudan Interior Mission gave birth to some of the big churches like ECWA in Nigeria and Africa Inland Church in Kenya. It is the aim of this book to describe faith missions and their theology and to present an overview of the early development of faith missions insofar as they touched Africa.
