New Reprint of one of Leona's popular
books
I began my cross-cultural adventure in
1947 as a young bride of 21 from a Czech heritage marrying into a
Chinese Christian family. I knew my late husband Ted Choy for 49
years ever since he was a young seminarian and we were classmates at
Wheaton College. During the 46 years of our marriage (and parenting
four sons) I joined Ted in his pastoral ministry, when he was a
seminary teacher, while he pioneered in university campus ministry,
and during our extensive witness journeys in China after his retirement.
Whenever we traveled, Ted asked me to
take notes for him on his experiences, his impressions and the people
we were privileged to meet, especially the suffering, persecuted
Christians in Communist China during the Cultural Revolution. I knew
the people he knew and I shared his dreams and visions. I knew and loved his
extended family intimately from having lived with them. I asked him
many questions about the original Choy forebears and their lives in
the tumultuous war years.
After his passing, I wrote his
biography MY DREAMS AND VISIONS mainly to preserve the slice
of history through which he lived. Many of the facts about growing up
in a small village in South China and the early days of Christian
missions there would be lost if this book were not in print. He
wanted to share those historic memories with his siblings, 10 brothers and sisters, and
their progeny, and ours, as a testimony to God's goodness and
blessing on our families.
That book was immediately sold
out! It was still requested, but regrettably remained out of
print. I was impressed that the fullness of time to reprint it was
this year 2016 which is my husband's 100th
anniversary of his birth in Swatow (Shantou, China.) I believe he would want this book in print.
I was greatly honored to accompany Ted multiple times to visit the grave of the first Christian in Swatow, our revered matriarch of the Choy family, and see their home village, the place of their birth, and their school and church. New generations have been born since this book's first publication and the information it contains is even more valuable and fascinating reading for Christians at large concerned for world witness.
