Note	Edmund "Teddy" Hodgson was a missionary to the Belgium Congo, Africa, from 1920-1960. In his 40 years of service he became a doctor, a dentist, a boat maker, a church builder, a mighty hunter, a husband, a father, a friend, and ultimately, he became a Martyr of the Faith. He told stories of his great hunting expeditions and of the place that became his great love and his home - Congo. This book holds a few of the stories he told. I'm sure there are hundreds more, held in the memories and hearts of those who had the honour of sitting with him and hearing them first hand. These are his hunting stories. So expect to read about deal lions, elephants and crocodiles. Teddy Hodgson served in the first world war as a Sergeant in the British army. He dough in the trenches always caring for his men amidst terrible horror and bloodshed. In the midst of battle God spoke to him and said,What about your promise to serve me in Congo?' He answered,LORD,by this time tomorrow there probably won't be any of us left to go to Congo. But if that's what you want me to do,I'm willing. I leave it to You'. You can read the full story in 'Seven Pentecostal Pioneers' by Colin Whittaker. Amongst those James Salter recruited were Teddy Hodgson an old friend who was settled in a prospering business and fighting the call of God. Salter walked into his office thinner than he had seen him last and said "well Teddy what about Congo?" In a matter of seconds as Salter prayed quietly the battle was won and a recruit made. In 1960 Congo was falling into terrible conflict, missionaries and Christians were being killed. Jimmy Salter flew out to Congo in September and met up with his good friend Teddy Hodgson. Over the next few weeks things got worse until they were taken hostage by the new local regime of fanatical rebels. They only escaped with their lives because of the intervention and rescue by 150 United Nation troops. It was just a few weeks later that news came out that Teddy along with a New Zealander had tried to get supplies through to some of their evangelists but were taken prisoner by the rebels and butchered with machetes as they prayed for their murderers
