| Résumé : |
Spanning five decades of missionary service in Africa, the story of Doctors Harold and Isobel Adeney is a record of the pursuit of their missionary call in dramatically changing circumstances.
From peaceful colonial rule to great disruptive political and ethnic upheavals, the countries of Rwanda and Burundi provided them with a tangled pattern of problems and situations—social and spiritual—which taxed their understanding, patience and adaptability. Never losing sight of their goal, they were able to see God triumph in their lives and in the lives of those around them as He unravelled for them the tangles to reveal His divine pattern. |
