A. W. Milne was a missionary just like my aunt for 50 years, greatly loved .
He packed all his belongings in a coffin, because he expected to be killed, but he was loved instead.
As for A. W. Milne, he Knew that most of the missionaries before him died a martyr’s death, still he accepted the call of God to minister to a tribe in the New Hebrides – island group in the South Pacific Ocean that now is the nation of Vanuatu. There he lived for 35 years. God’s timing and favor had given him a break through among these people and there he enjoyed favor.
But A. W. Milne would never return home. After many years of fruitful labor for the Lord, he passed and was buried in the middle of the town. The inscription on his tombstone could not have been more clearer:
“when he came there was no light, when he left there was no darkness.
