About This Book
An autobiographical account recounts over five decades of missionary service in Siam and among the Lāo, describing the discovery of Lāo-speaking villages, arduous travels into northern and border regions, and the establishment of a sustained mission presence. It details evangelistic labors, the introduction of medical measures such as quinine and vaccination, the founding of hospitals, schools, and churches, and efforts in education and training. Interwoven are personal reflections on perseverance, faith, local relationships, cross-cultural engagement, and the practical hardships of pioneering religious and social work in remote communities.
