Description
Letters From Nigeria Volume 2 tells the story of Elizabeth Deeks' work as a CMS missionary in Nigeria during the 1970s. In Akure, she taught women's courses to help their husbands become effective catechists, while also running the Centres' Dispensary and managing issues at a nearby leprosy settlement.
Elizabeth's experiences in Nigeria were deeply personal, as she corresponded regularly with her parents who had worked for the Church Missionary Society in Nigeria decades earlier. Her letters from this period offer a unique insight into life as a CMS missionary in Africa during this time.
This second volume in Letters From Nigeria completes Elizabeth Deeks' story of her work and life in Akure, setting the stage for further volumes to be published.
