A New Commitment

In 1930, the letter from the Shantymen's Christian Association arrived and forever change the direction of Percy and Margarette's lives. They believed it was God's leading and stepped out to follow it.

Percy Wills, the subject of his biography, "Forging Ahead for God", was a prolific writer. As he trekked over the footpaths on his way to visit logging camps, lighthouses, or single homes, his busy mind crafted many poems and short sayings, besides thinking over the Scriptures he would preach about.

Here are a couple of those short works. I will add some of his longer poems to this website from time to time.

"Why should God,
Who has created me,
and given me richly all things
to enjoy

A local Book Club invited me to their monthly meeting on Feb. 18th. The members had purchased and read "Forging Ahead for God:Percy Wills Pioneer Missionary" in preparation for discussion and questions.

There were many positive comments made about Percy Wills's faith in God to provide all his needs for his family and the work he was doing on the west coast of Vancouver Island, B.C.

"I love to see God moving behind the scenes in people's lives. Percy's faith shakes the resources of Heaven loose toinspitre people to give and for the gospel to be shared in the face of an empty account. You start to expect God to do miraculous things for Percy as you read this book and then you realize He wants to do just as much fo us.
