Description
Angels in Charge: Stories of God’s Protection While Teaching in Zambia
By: Elizabeth Brooks
In this fresh and intimate book Betty tells how the Lord protected her through some harrowing experiences while teaching at the University of Zambia. Her purpose was to lead the reader to praise God for His care for His children and to encourage young Christians who have advanced degrees to join the great missionary team. There are universities in several mission fields where English is used by all students. Infinite spiritual opportunities are to be found on every side.
In particular, Betty wanted to appeal to young Christians who are considering a service for the Lord overseas but are fearful and concerned about the risks. Her desire was for them to remember the psalmist’s words, “For He will give His angels charge concerning you. To guard you in all your ways” (Ps. 91:11).
Dr. Elizabeth Ena (Betty) Brooks was born October 14, 1943 in Toronto, Canada and was saved at the age of 5.

Later she returned to Canada and taught at Nipissing University in North Bay. Betty was also involved in taking Bibles into Russia for several years in the Lord’s service until she was refused reentry into the country. She then went to Zambia as a commended worker and taught religious education. She returned to Canada in 2005 and was diagnosed with cancer. The Lord took her home July 19, 2007.
