About this ebook
When they left America in the 1930s to serve as missionaries in the remote jungles of Liberia, West Africa, Harold and Ella Landrus could never have imagined the challenges they would face.
They had no way of knowing the joys they would experience, the heartbreaks they would endure, nor the unbelievable adventures they would encounter.
From deadly snakes, to marauding leopards, rampaging elephants, and terrifying airplane crashes, the Landrus family faced every challenge with faith, courage, and purpose.
Written by a retired missionary who spent time with Harold and Ella while they were still ministering in Liberia, their story will challenge and inspire you.
This is the account of a remarkable missionary family striving to make a difference in the lives of native tribespeople deep in the jungles of the African interior. They led lives of worth and meaning while living out adventures that go beyond anything any movie could ever offer. The difference is their story is true.
W. Blake Gibbs
William Blake Gibbs was born in Pasadena, CA and grew up in neighboring Arcadia. He graduated from of Arcadia High School. He received his Bachelor’s Degree from Claremont Men’s College (now Claremont McKenna College). After serving in the US Army in Viet Nam, Blake began a more than forty-year career in a variety of business fields, including banking, management education, manufacturing, management consulting, and construction. He married Esther Landrus in 1965. During their lives together, they have travelled extensively in Africa, Asia, and Europe. When Blake turned sixty, he and Esther felt the Lord was calling them to become missionaries with Agape Children’s Ministry. Agape rescues street children and other at-risk children in Kenya. The ministry’s focus is to share the Gospel with the children and, after preparation and counseling, to reintegrate them back with their family or extended family. Blake and Esther retired from Agape in 2019. Blake’s experiences as a missionary, both traveling and living for extended periods in Africa; his visit with Harold and Ella while they were still ministering at New Hope Town; and his life with Esther learning the details of the Landrus family’s experiences in Liberia, place him in a unique position to understand and communicate the remarkable story of the Landrus family and their lives and ministry in Arica.
