"William Burton was a man ahead of his time. Dynamic, sometimes impetuous and anxious to get the job done, the Africans called him 'The Rusher-Forth'. Mr Burton was very human. His peanut tricks and sleight of hand would fascinate me as a young lad. He loved children; he made everything so interesting for them. He was a perfectionist, and not always an easy man to work with. He expected the best from those who laboured alongside him and did not tolerate any who fell short. He was honest and straightforward in his dealing with people. In some of his letters he shows disgust, horror and anger at the criticism levelled at him and the work. At one of our missionary conferences, we were discussing the thorny problem of staffing for a new station at the extreme north west of our work. The heads of stations did not want to release any of their workers, all were badly needed. No one volunteered. Suddenly, 72-year-old Burton jumped to his feet. 'I'll go!' he cried to the abashed gathering, and he meant it." - From the Foreword, by David Womersley. Ninety years ago, William Burton founded a mission that grew out of obscure beginnings to be one of the most influential tools of evangelism in today's Central and Southern Congo, responsible for the establishment of more than 5,000 local churches, some of which number among the largest local churches in the nation. The Congo Evangelistic Mission or Burton's Mission, as many knew it in the early years, has gone through a number of name changes resulting from the country being renamed Zaire in 1972 and then back to Congo in 1997. Today, known as Central African Missions, the mission is active in Zambia, Ethiopia and Congo. In a day when many question the validity of mission, this book will challenge believers and churches to greater involvement in the evangelisation of our world.
