Success!
I was thrilled the next night when all of them came. One of them even asked Jesus to
forgive them and to cleanse his heart!

My mission meetings on Queen Street helped me to get accepted as a foreign missionary

after I grew up. I was so surprised when one of the people who appointed me said, "You
have proven you can be a good missionary on Queen Street. We'd like to send you to
Calabar, Africa."

Calabar! Wow!

My heart pounded with excitement the afternoon in 1876 when I boarded the ship for
Calabar. Even though my dear brother Robert couldn't go with me, I thought about him as
the gangway was lowered onto the dock and the ship noisily pushed away from the shore.
One day I would see Robert in heaven and then I'd tell him all about my missionary
adventures. And I wasn't afraid! Jesus was right beside me as I travelled to the worst spot

on earth--Calabar, Africa.

The Continuing Story
Mary's adventures were just beginning when she headed for Africa.

Questions to make you dig a little deeper and think a little harder.

1. Mary had to stand up to some bullies while trying to share Bible stories on Queen
Street. Why do you think they left her alone when they saw that she wasn't afraid?
2. Mary didn't let her young age stop her from sharing God's Word with others. Do you

have someone that you can share Bible stories with? Maybe it's someone in your
family, your neighbourhood or even your school or church.
3. Mary wanted a specific job with all her heart. She wanted to teach the street children
on Queen Street. What job do you want?
