Frankie Willingham Wyatt answered God’s call to missions by teaching English and sharing the gospel in China.

Though the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls—Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The LORD God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills.
— Habakkuk 3:17-19

Frankie Willingham Wyatt lived most of her married life in California. She and her husband, Cecil, had four beautiful children: three girls and one son, who are all serving God and actively involved in their individual churches. Frankie and Cecil retired in 1992 to Picayune, Mississippi. Five years later, her husband went home to be with his Heavenly Father.

A year later, God called Frankie to go to China, where she taught English in public and private schools for most of thirteen years. She then took teams to China for a few years.

Frankie had many stories that were on her heart, but she didn't feel confident that she could write them by herself. Therefore, she teamed up with Margaret Sorensen, and together they wrote two books.

Frankie is excited about what the future holds, knowing that she is in the center of God's will. She enjoys visiting and facetiming with her ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Also, she is privileged to be "Grandma" to many of her Chinese students.
