The realism of missions is sometimes covered by a romantic frosting; but Valdemar Toppenberg knew the sweat, sacrifice, and sorrow that come with the reward. Working in a half score of countries over a forty-three-year period, which included World Wars I and II, the missionary knew what a shortage of supplies, a delay in the mail service, prejudice, and propaganda meant in the isolated jungle areas.
Africa Has My Heart is a saga of mission service to thrill the heart of every Christian who accepts the commission of Christ: �Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.�
