Lilias Trotter (1853-1928) was a British artist and missionary, known for her exceptional talent in watercolor painting and her dedication to serving God through her work. Born in London, Trotter grew up in a wealthy family and received a privileged education, which included training in art. She showed great promise as an artist, and her paintings were exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. However, Trotter's life took a different turn when she became interested in Christian mission work. In 1888, she met the evangelist John Mott, who inspired her to devote her life to spreading the gospel. She joined the North Africa Mission, an organization dedicated to evangelizing Muslims in Algeria and Tunisia. Trotter spent the next forty years of her life in North Africa, living among the local people and sharing the message of Christ with them. She also continued to paint, using her artistic talents to create beautiful images that illustrated biblical themes and stories. Trotter...

Paris Reidhead was a Christian evangelist, teacher, writer, and advocate for economic development in impoverished nations. He was born in Minnesota and committed himself to a life of Christian service in his late teens. He worked with the Sudan Interior Mission surveying and analyzing indigenous languages, where he had a spiritual crisis and became convinced that much of evangelicalism had adopted philosophies contrary to Biblical teachings. Upon his return to the US, he worked as a Deputation Secretary of SIM, taught at national conferences, and was a pastor at New York City's Gospel Tabernacle. He was committed to enabling impoverished people in developing nations to help themselves and rise out of poverty and founded the Institute for International Development and Enterprise Development International, a non-profit Christian organization for economic development. He died in Woodbridge, Virginia in 1992.
