Wycliffe missionary and Cameron Townsend’s wife
Biography for 9–14–year–olds
As a young woman Elaine Townsend was given an amazing prize which enabled her to go on a round the world trip. But it wasn’t a once–in–a–lifetime experience – she would continue to travel later in life after she had come to faith in Christ. However, it wouldn’t be trips and luxury travel – rather the hard work and sacrifice of missionary life. Elaine discovered how adventurous life can be when you simply say yes to God. It was as though being God’s servant meant that the whole world was her home.
Simona Gorton
Simona Gorton lives with her husband and three children in an old farmhouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which they love to fill with good food and better friends. Growing things out of the dirt, hearing her children’s made–up stories, and reading John Buchan are some of her greatest loves. She has authored youth and adult biographies of Elaine Townsend and worked as the International Operations Manager of 9Marks.
