Rev. Dr. W. Donald McClure

Don and Lyda McClure

The half century of Christian service in Africa by Don and Lyda McClure is both fascinating and inspiring. So much so, in fact, that two books detailing their ministry and adventures have been written. Unfortunately, both are out-of-print.

Adventure in Africa: The Story of Don McClure by Charles Partee

Red-Headed, Rash and Religious by Don McClure compiled by Marion Fairman

"Don's lot in the ministry of the Lord he loves has been almost the opposite of that of his father. Scarcely have the hard 'beginnings' - the clearing of land, the building of houses, the starting of schools, the opening of the clinic, the winning of confidences - been accomplished in one station before the same tasks, the same courage, the same vision, the same faith and hard work have been required in another outpost of challenge"

A spear has many parts all critical for its effective operation. However, I am only happy while riding on the point.
