In the beginning Friends missionaries in the Bundelkhand region of India were all women. They deliberately set out to find a difficult area, untouched with the Gospel, as the place to plant their mission. On April 1, 1896, they moved into backward, benighted Bundelkhand in the grips of famine. 
Over a period of centuries Bundelkhandi people have been sharpened on drastic anvils of poverty, suffering, and intrigue beyond the telling. The marvel is that, once planted in that hostile environment, the Gospel has continued to this day. 
A Century of Planting tells the story of the ministry of the Evangelical Friends Church—Eastern Region in India. It is a testimony of the promises of God to the people who live there and the missionaries who have worked together in the planting and harvesting of the Gospel of Christ.

Century of Planting: A History of the American Friends Mission in India

As a young boy, Ezra DeVol was fascinated by watching his parents perform surgery in Luho, China. But unlike his brother and sister, he remained silent when their mother, just prior to her death, asked, "Who will go?" He later responded to the call of Christ to missionary service.   Ezra and his wife, Frances, worked as a team in surgery and in the home as they served together in China, India, Nepal, and the United States. Their immediate family of two daughters and two sons encountered experiences that caused geographic and emotional separation. The pain and joy in the life of this family offer a challenge and a moving witness to the grace of God.
