  This autobiography describes the adventures that befell Mary Cundy as she struggled to maintain a faithful witness in the mountains of Nepal. In 1957, a young English social worker left her homeland and journeyed to the kingdom of Nepal. For the next 33 years, she served the Nepali people in some of the most remote and difficult areas in the country. Living at the level of the impoverished villagers, a day's walk from the nearest road, Mary started a dispensary. Within a short time she was seeing over 100 patients a day, many of them desperately ill. Although she had no formal medical training, day after day she proved God's faithfulness even in the most impossible circumstances. Mary was equally involved in spiritual healing, spiritual warfare, evangelism and discipline. She led the formation of a church in her area, which has grown steadily in spite of intense local opposition. Her life illustrates how God takes ordinary people and turns them into extraordinary people. She simply obeyed God's call, and kept on obeying. God honoured that obedience.
