Mary Bird, Part 2

Mary Rebecca Bird was the first single missionary to be sent to Persia by the CMS (Church Missionary Society). She was born in 1859, and from the young age of five, she pledged her life to the service of God in a foreign land. At thirty-two years old, she moved to Persia and ministered to the medical, physical, and spiritual needs of children, wives, and young women. She was often confronted with danger and death threats, but by the grace of God, Mary persevered and never experienced any harm.
