John Miller Wells - Southern Presbyterian Worthies: John Leighton Wilson, The Foreign Missionary (1936)

John Miller Wells - Southern Presbyterian Worthies: John Leighton Wilson, The Foreign Missionary (1936) . . . Southern Presbyterian Worthies, by John Miller Wells, tells the stories of several pastors who ministered in the old Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS). This episode is a reading of his chapter on John Leighton Wilson, a foreign missionary in Africa, missionary statesman, and secretary/coordinator of foreign and home missions for the PCUS from 1861 until 1885. His story is one that has been forgotten, but he needs to be remembered as a man of faith and action who led the church of Jesus Christ to pursue the salvation of the lost to the four corners of the globe. (Typically, this podcast posts a picture of the author of the work read; in this case, the picture is actually of Wilson.)
