Mary Reed went to India with a calling to serve women through Christian missionary work. Years later, after discovering that she had contracted leprosy, she faced a decision few could imagine. Rather than abandon the mission field, she returned to India and devoted the remainder of her life to serving people afflicted with the same disease.

In Mary Reed, Missionary to the Lepers, John Jackson tells the remarkable story of a woman whose faith in Christ carried her through personal sacrifice, illness, and years of demanding missionary service. At Chandag, in the Himalayan foothills, Mary became not only a missionary but a friend and devoted caregiver to those whom society often rejected. She helped provide shelter, practical care, education, and Christian teaching, bringing dignity, fellowship, and the hope of the Gospel to the leprosy community.

This audiobook preserves Jackson’s original account and includes additional historical introductions and explanations written by the narrator to help modern listeners understand Mary Reed’s life, the missionary work of her era, and the people she served. It concludes with a memorial honoring her faithfulness and the life she gave in service to Christ.

Mary Reed’s story is a powerful testimony to Christian calling, perseverance, compassion, and the transforming love of Jesus Christ.
