Florence and Clifford went to China as missionaries in 1934. They took their ten-month-old son, Philip, with them. Through letters home to her sister and widowed mother, Florence detailed their Gospel work and life in a country ravished by civil war, banditry and poverty. Can you appreciate her faith through the internment of young Philip, then eight, in a Japanese Prisoner of War camp? Can you fathom the perils after Clifford tried to help the American Doolittle Bombers, and when the family was forced, with their remaining children, into a four-and-a-half month trek across China? After scrounging for food and sleeping in ditches, would God lead them to safety? Would Florence ever see Philip again? Told by Florence's youngest daughter, born after their return to Canada, you are given a glimpse into a world few know, shown a commitment few ever possess, and provided with an understanding for a moment of time, of the price one might have to pay to answer a calling to serve the Lord.
