In her youth, she travelled around the world – no ordinary thing for a girl from Chicago in 1930s. She thought it was a once in a lifetime experience but God had other plans!
After she became a Christian, God took her on another adventure. As a Wycliffe missionary her travels with her husband Cameron Townsend were much less luxurious. Now, her life was about hard work and sacrifice.
They discovered how adventurous life can be when you simply say yes to God. When serving the God of the universe, the whole world was her home.
