Today in Missions History: November 22, 1939 -- Nurse Dorothy Davis is appointed as a Nazarene missionary to Swaziland. After six weeks at sea crossing the Atlantic, which was then a World War II battlefield, Davis would arrive in Africa on June 4, 1940. Because of her role in training Swazi nurses, she will become known as the Mother of Swazi Nurses. One of her former students, Martha Zubuko, said, Dorothy was not only a nurse; she was a preacher. For her service, by order of Queen Elizabeth II, Davis -- though an American citizen -- was honored with the Member of the British Empire award.
