The Missionary Outreach of the West Indian Church is the story of Jamaican Baptists, ex-slaves who, four years after Emancipation (1838), established a witness in the Cameroons (West Africa) in cooperation with their British pastors and with the reluctant aid of the Baptist Missionary Society of London. Professor Russell analyzes the relationship between the undertaking of the mission and the new self-awareness of a freed people. The institutions created to achieve their aims are discussed and their fortunes are followed amid the chaotic ecclesiastical, economic, and political happenings consequent upon the Anglo/Hispanic rivalry at the time. The book is also a study of what happens when a mission-field becomes a mission agency with missionaries of its own.

Eight Pathways came out of a series of sermons at the Wednesday Midday services held at First Baptist Church in Philadelphia.

Terrence Duncanson was a pioneering Jamaican missionary to Panama in the first half of the 20th century. His sojourn in the Central American country was occasioned by the large numbers of Jamaicans who worked on the Canal, and later, with the United Fruit Company. Laboring in harsh conditions and an unwelcoming environment, the immigrants drew on Duncanson's skills, resourcefulness and tenacity as he traveled across rivers and by train over large distances to secluded locations. Duncanson, in his more than thirty years sojourn, became an important liaison between the United Fruit Company and the workers, both sides depending on him to settle disputes and to negotiate deals, as well as to provide needed social services. His life story is clear testimony that the role of a missionary often consists of far more than the preaching of the Gospel. That the missionary, often times, becomes a major source of stability and progress.
