Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the remarkable story of Rev. George Champion, a young man from a privileged New England background who felt a powerful calling to serve as a missionary in Africa. The author traces Champion's journey from his upbringing in a wealthy, religiously devout family to his decision to dedicate his life to spreading the Christian faith among the Zulu people. The excerpt vividly portrays the challenges and triumphs of his mission, from the initial hesitation of his family to his eventual establishment of a mission station in the heart of Zulu territory. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of missionary work in Africa, providing a detailed account of the cultural and religious landscape of the Zulu people in the 1830s. It captures the anxieties and uncertainties of these early missionaries, grappling with language barriers, the harsh realities of a new land, and the complex relationship between the Zulu kingdom and European colonial powers. Through Champion's experiences, the author explores themes of faith, cultural encounters, and the complexities of colonialism. The book provides a compelling perspective on the motivations and struggles of those who sought to bring Christianity to the "dark continent" and offers a nuanced view of the impact of these efforts on both the missionaries and the African communities they sought to serve.
