Looks at the role of the country''s senior diplomat.

Isaac McCoy [1784-1846] was a Baptist missionary to the American Indians. That is a nominal description of McCoy because he also aggressively pursued a state (or at least a sovereign territory) for Indians only. Although McCoy had personally discussed his ideas with titans like Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams there were myriad political interests that opposed his notion of an ''Indian state''. He was even pulled into the rawest issue of the time: slavery. Isaac McCoy fought for an ''Indian state'' until his death at age 62 in 1846. Isaac McCoy was not without controversy. He had a questionable role in a vigilante action against Mormons in Jackson County, Missouri, probably the largest vigilante action in the nation''s history. McCoy also allied himself with some hard businessmen in Jackson County because his large family was so poorly supported by his Board of Missions.

Brother Andrew (born 1928) is one of the world''s most unusual Christian heroes.

From a suitcase load of tracts in Warsaw, Poland, to a ship''s hold full of one million Bibles bound for China, Brother Andrew has distributed untold numbers of Christian materials to persecuted believers around the world.

John Wesley was a man of thought, producing volumes of sermons, hymns, and other writings. But he was also a man of action, traveling more than 200,000 miles over sea and land, much of that by horseback, to spread the Word of God. Through his eighty-seven years of life, John Wesley was uniquely used by God to share the message of personal holiness, discipline, and charity.

Mary Slessor grew up in Scotland, in squalid poverty but she had a hero. He was her contemporary but much older countryman David Livingstone. Not only did Mary idolize him but she wanted also to find her calling in Africa. But Livingstone was fearless. Tiny Mary trembled with fear. Her father was the proverbial alcoholic, terrorizing his family with drunken violence. Mary was so traumatized by fear and shame she dreaded men. She could not even speak in front of men. How could she emulate the great Livingstone? And when her chance came to go to west Africa, how could she go to such a dangerous place? Buttressed by her faith and her hero''s motto - Always Forward! - Mary Slessor did go to Africa. She shed her demons. She alone of missionaries left their compound to live among the natives. She conducted church services. She educated children. She practiced medicine. She took in orphans. She alone of the white colonials could move about among the most feared natives of the Niger Delta area. They murdered twins as devil''s children. They practiced human sacrifice. They had slaves. They punished with extreme cruelty. How could tiny Mary change that? But through her faith she did.

Born into slavery in Missouri near the end of the Civil War, baby George Carver was kidnapped by bushwhackers. Ransomed and freed by his owner he later traveled to Kansas at age 12. For the next 14 years he drifted the Kansas plains alone, but always curious, always inventive. A natural genius, he found his calling at Iowa State. Some thought he was the most promising horticulturist in the nation. He spurned prestige schools to teach at all black Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. There his creative mind developed better ways to grow and use peanuts, sweet potatoes, soybeans and cotton. He significantly influenced agriculture in the deep south. His immense talents did not go unnoticed. His advice was sought by industrial genius Henry Ford and American presidents Teddy Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge and Franklin Roosevelt as well as Senators and Congressmen. Carver died in 1943 after a lifetime of scientific and artistic achievement. Soon thereafter, Franklin Roosevelt honored Carver by designating the George Washington Carver National Monument in Missouri. It was the first national monument dedicated to an African-American and the first to honor anyone other than a president.
