Description

"Sifu" is what they called her, the Swahili word for "praise." It was not part of the choruses they sang or the nickname given to the missionary, but something Maizie Smyth has expressed since she first stepped from a farm near Broughshane, Northern Ireland to serve God in the heart of Africa. Serving God for twenty-four years under the blue skies of Congo has helped Maizie prove how great God is, even when she could only see clouds of impossibility. She has known his protection and provision in the most unusual ways and often in the nick of time.
