West Africa Calling

Stan and his wife, Phyllis, served as missionaries to Upper Volta (currently Burkina Faso), West Africa, from the colonial years in the 1950's to 1990. This is their story, as written in the memoirs of Stan himself, of how God called them, prepared them, and then used them in His service. From the early pioneering years lived amongst the remote Sissala people in Boura, Yoro and Ti; the establishment of a Bible College and women's refuge in Leo, and a ministry in Ghana, their story is one of hardships and triumphs, of overcoming serious, debilitating illness, of perseverance and breakthrough, of joy and sorrow.
