Nobie

By all odds Nobie Pope should never have been a missionary. At age 43 and with an eighth-grade education, Nobie, a dental assistant, braved the odds to obey God's call to Colombia, South America. Using dental skills as a wedge for her Christian witness, she played a major role in establishing 27 congregations along Colombia's waterways. Rejecting any personal credit, however, she focuses on the vital role of praying friends back home.
