Elaine Townsend was a bright young thing in1930-s Chicago. Despite struggles and family heartache Elaine was full of energy and enterprise. She once won an award for being `The Best Protestant- and as a result was given an amazing prize which enabled her to go on a round the world trip. This was a unique experience but one that she would continue to do in later life after she had come to faith in Christ. However, it wouldn-t be trips and luxury travel - rather the hard work and sacrifice of missionary endeavour. When she became a Wycliffe missionary and Cameron Townsend-s wife Elaine discovered how adventurous life can be when you simply say yes to God. It was as though being God-s servant meant that the whole world was her home.
