Excerpt from Dark and Stormy Days at Kumassi, 1900, or Missionary Experience in Ashanti: According to the Diary of Rev. Fritz Ramseyer Mr. And Mrs. Ramseyer and their Missionary comrades have a thrilling story to tell. It is a story as full of peril and privation, of endurance and heroism, and of God's own delivering hand, as the story of the relief of the Legations at Pekin only a little later in 1900.

The experience of displacement is shared by people who work internationally. The capacity to be displaced is a necessary strength and skill for people working across cultures, particularly for missionaries. In order to deal with the stressful nature of displacement people need to be resilient, resilience makes people flourish in adverse circumstances. This volume presents a specific type of resilience, namely “resilience nourished by inner sources.” Cultivating inner resilience draws on all the facets of a person’s interior life: thoughts and memories, hopes and desires, beliefs and convictions, concerns and emotions. The notion of inner strength and resilience from within is developed using many examples from missionaries and development workers as well as case studies from all over the world.
