What prompts a couple with two grown children to give up a lucrative job and leave for the jungles of Cameroon? Only the Lord who spoke clearly to Norma (Booth) Clark and told her the time to go was “Now!” She and her husband, Gilbert, stepped out in faith, joined Wycliffe Bible Translators, and raised financial support to train and work in the field. They sold their house, their furnishings, and even their beautiful lakeside summer home. But God pointed out they’d see many other beautiful places, and they did. After training in Oklahoma, they spent a year in France preparing for missionary work in Africa. In this book, Norma Clark recounts their experiences in Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon; Mexico; and other places where they served with Wycliffe Bible Translators, a missionary field that spanned three decades.
“I want to thank Julie Zander for all the work she did to get Norma Clark’s story into print. Julie was wonderful to work with and very encouraging. At 95 years young we knew it was time to get Mother’s story published. Finding Julie was an answer to prayer. I have also given Julie’s name to a friend.”

“Thank you for your help in getting my book ready for publishing. Following God’s Lead has been received well. Most comments are ‘encouraging’ and ‘easy to read.’ My book is now in England, Canada, Colorado, California, and Washington. It was a privilege to have met you.”
