00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.395
Maud Sisley Boyd
was the first woman missionary

00:00:03.395 --> 00:00:06.526
sent by the Seventh-day Adventist
Church’s Foreign Mission Board.

00:00:07.201 --> 00:00:10.366
Maud Sisley was born in 1851,
in Kent, England.

00:00:11.043 --> 00:00:12.371
After her father died,

00:00:12.371 --> 00:00:14.131
her family went to the United States

00:00:14.131 --> 00:00:16.510
where they learned about
the Adventist message.

00:00:17.955 --> 00:00:20.668
A visit by James and Ellen White
convinced them

00:00:20.668 --> 00:00:23.973
to relocate to church headquarters
at Battle Creek, Michigan.

00:00:24.886 --> 00:00:26.774
Maud was an Adventist member
for 10 years

00:00:26.774 --> 00:00:29.225
when she was called to serve
as a missionary.

00:00:30.481 --> 00:00:33.129
In 1877, she left for Europe

00:00:33.249 --> 00:00:35.672
where she eventually served
in Switzerland and England.

00:00:36.720 --> 00:00:38.025
After several years in Europe,

00:00:38.365 --> 00:00:40.125
Maud returned to the United States

00:00:40.262 --> 00:00:41.262
in time to attend

00:00:41.262 --> 00:00:44.362
the second annual session
of the General Sabbath School Association

00:00:44.715 --> 00:00:46.075
held in Battle Creek, Michigan.

00:00:51.985 --> 00:00:54.401
