This book chronicles the pioneering efforts of Edward Winter Clark and Mary Mead Clark, the first American Baptist missionaries who successfully planted the good news of Jesus Christ in Nagaland, India. Its author, Dr. Narola Ao McFayden, a great-granddaughter of the first Naga pastor who worked with this missionary couple, draws upon archival materials such as original letters, correspondence, and articles by and about the Clarks to reveal the nature of their groundbreaking work and the courage of the Naga people who received these missionaries. From these materials, she crafts a story of pioneers - of pioneering missionaries and pioneering Nagas - and of the ways in which they together crossed geographic, social, political, cultural, religious, and linguistic borders.
