An inspiring story of keeping the Christian faith, Mission Liberia offers support to evangelists around the world and is both encouraging and thoroughly entertaining. Dating back from the couple's arrival in 1991, it tells the joys and heartaches, successes and failures of a pioneer and his wife who arrived in Monrovia, Liberia, with just two suitcases and a cornet with which to commence their daunting work. Brian J. Knightley has written a nail-biting story that sheds light on a dark topic and inspires Christian readers to faithfully accept the challenge of God's work, though the way ahead may be difficult.
Born in London and educated in Watford, Brian qualified as a teacher and taught mathematics and drafting for 14 years before being ordained for the ministry. After four years of service in the UK he became a missionary in Africa, serving six years in Zimbabwe, one in Zambia and 13 in Liberia.
