Into Life Eternal

PRISCILLA BAILEY  April 20, 1922—August 4, 2003

Priscilla Bailey was born April 20, 1922.  After 2 ½ years in the U.S. Marine Corps, Priscilla attended Bible classes in Hingham, Massachusetts, where she received Christ as her Savior. At Providence Bible Institute she met Millie Crouch who became her co-laborer in the Gospel for over 50 years! She was appointed for service with ABWE in1950, and with Millie Crouch, left for the Philippines in December of 1951.

During her 39 years of service in the Philippines, Priscilla was involved in a variety of ministries with children, young people and women in Bukidnon Province on the Island of Mindanao, in Southern Leyte and as the manager of ABWE’s vacation facilities, Doane Rest, in Baguio City.

Priscilla and Millie retired from foreign missionary service in 1990. They were highly respected and greatly loved by their missionary colleagues and national brethren; without a doubt, they were one of the most effective women’s teams in ABWE’s history.

Priscilla was preceded in death by Millie on December 4, 2002. After an apparent stroke, Priscilla went to be with the Lord on Monday, August 4, 2003. You can read more about Priscilla and Millie’s ministry in the Philippines in the book that Millie wrote, Me? A Missionary?
