It shouldn't happen to a missionary
Alf Cooper is a firebrand of an evangelist. For fifteen years he has worked in Chile with the South American Missionary Society, pioneering novel approaches to evangelism and planting several churches among the ‘mink and Mercedes’ set in Santiago. His dynamic personality, original ideas and no–holds barred approach to his faith has made him a talking–point in mission circles. This book recounts Alf’s frequently hilarious pilgrimage, from his discovery of Christ and his baptism in the free spirit to his calling as a shoot-from-the-hip Pentecostal evangelist – and then, to his astonishment, to an Anglican mission team. Despite the bizarre, even heartbreaking situations he encounters, this book shows what can happen when we take the brakes off out faith. ‘A refreshing reminder of Alf’s unabating zeal and effectiveness in evangelism. Something of this fire is needed for the Decade of Evangelism!’ – Rt Rev. David Pytches, formerly Bishop of Chile.
