"..I am what I am"

"I go to Africa not for fame or prominence, but because I am attached to Jesus Christ in a love that knows no sacrifice too great to be made, that men and women everywhere throughout Africa may know of and come to possess the wonderful inheritance He has won for them on the cross of Calvary. I go to Africa because I believe the Africans to be worthy of the most heroic effort that can be put forth to save them. I believe this because Jesus Christ believed and proved to the world that it was true." - Helen Virginia Blakeslee
