Elaine Townsend
At Home Around the World
Simona Gorton
From fashionable 1930’s Chicago to missionary life
Wycliffe missionary and Cameron Townsend’s wife
Biography for 9–14–year–olds
Elaine Townsend was a bright young thing in 1930’s Chicago. She once won an award for being ‘The Best Protestant’ and was given an amazing prize which enabled her to go on a round the world trip. This was a unique experience but one that she would continue to do in later life after she had come to faith in Christ. However, it wouldn’t be trips and luxury travel – rather the hard work and sacrifice of missionary endeavour. When she became a Wycliffe missionary and Cameron Townsend’s wife Elaine discovered how adventurous life can be when you simply say yes to God. It was as though being God’s servant meant that the whole world was her home.
Simona Gorton
Simona Gorton lives with her husband and three children in an old farmhouse in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which they love to fill with good food and better friends. Growing things out of the dirt, hearing her children’s made–up stories, and reading John Buchan are some of her greatest loves. She has authored youth and adult biographies of Elaine Townsend and worked as the International Operations Manager of 9Marks.
