Dear Editor,
I was one of those present in 1955 in the famous Henry Martyn Hall in Cambridge when one man stood up and shared his vision that, following the Cambridge Seven who went out nearly 70 years previously, we should pray for 70 of our generation to go and serve God overseas. (In the July issue of en, there is a review of a book telling of how this vision was realised.)
When I left Cambridge, I taught in a school in this country, then went to be a lecturer in Physics at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. On the strength of this, I learnt relatively recently that I was counted as one of the Cambridge Seventy. If teachers, doctors, etc. are included, the total number who went abroad from our generation was over 80.
