Ch 6: Phase 4 - Missionary Life "In the Field"
Missionary lives were organized around the dominating spheres of their missionary work in one or more of the three branches of missionary endeavor: medical, educational and evangelical.
In this chapter, we provide a set of vivid, fine-grained accounts of the practices that made up missionary work – the routine tasks that made up the work day, as well as the extraordinary experiences that their mission tasks thrust them into. Our aim is to provide readers a more experiential entry into the subject.
