Lilias Trotter (1853 – 1928) was a British missionary to North Africa. In her early twenties, her artworks were noticed by the renowned art critic, John Ruskin. However, Lilias forsook his offer of artistic greatness to continue her ministry work in London. In 1888, she left England, travelled to Algeria and continued there for 40 years, eventually founding the Algeria Mission Band. She brought the gospel to many remote desert and mountain villages around Algeria, using her creativity and artistic gifts.

I have been listening to Michelle present these biographies on Spotify or Apple Podcast for over 4 years now, always excited for the new one to come out and often inspired to go and read the biographies myself. I have been inspired in my Christian walk greatly by the these stories and Michelle’s wonderful telling of them. Thank you Michelle.
Yours in Christ,
