An autobiographical reflection of Protestant missionary involvement in Haiti, As the Cock Crows recounts Nelsons impressions of spreading the Gospel in an underdeveloped nation. G. Dudley Nelson,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Having been tempted to write my own description of what it is like to be a missionary doctor in Haiti, I don't have to thanks to this book. Accurate vivid descriptions of Haiti as it was in 1946 and still today in 2000 fill the book. Dr. Nelson's writing details how everything is difficult in Haiti, takes longer than expected, yet gets done in God's time not his. The primitive organization of Haitian society and infrastructure is captured factually. This should be required reading for any person considering missionary work in Haiti, medical or ministerial. Haiti is a destination for service, not vacation or leisure. Don't go unless you are called. Don't stay home if you are.
