How are Christians called by the Lord into missionary service? On this page and opposite are two examples. We start here with Will and Judith.

At least that's how it seems after five months in Africa. We're in Zaire with Wycliffe Bible Translators to help translate the Bible into one of the local languages. But how did two ordinary students end up as 'missionaries'? And 'career missionaries' at that, planning to spend at least ten years, and probably longer, in Africa. How did we know it was the right thing? Isn't it a big step to take, with a young family? What if we've made a mistake? And why Zaire?
