Let My People Go

Robert A. Jaffray was a giant among the pioneer missionary statesmen
of the early 20th century. Heir to the Toronto Globe - one of Canada's leading newspapers-
he turned his back on wealth and power to serve in China. Responsible for an
ever-growing work there, he simultaneously opened French Indochina to The Christian
and Missionary Alliance. Later he orchestrated the missionary effort in Indonesia,
today the largest Alliance field overseas. Jaffray was a missionary general. His
keen administrating, voluminous writing and incessant strategizing made him a natural
leader.

 Aided by his wife Minnie, he never allowed poor health- diabetes
and a heart condition - to deter him from his work for the Lord. Committed to missions
and the people of Southeast Asia to the end, Jaffray died a Martyr in a Japanese
prison camp during World War 2. His story serves as an example of how God can use
one person- limitations and all- to bring thousands to Himself.
