- W._Don_McClure abstract "W(illiam) Don(ald) McClure (born April 28, 1906) was an American Presbyterian missionary in Africa. Born in Blairsville, Pennsylvania, McClure graduated from Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania. He began teaching in Khartoum, Sudan in 1928, returning to the United States three years later to study at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. After graduation and ordination in 1934, McClure and his wife, Lyda, began work in Doleib Hill, Sudan with the Shulla people. During this time, McClure began to question the traditional missionary approach to indigenous people. McClure was convinced that a large staff employed for a limited time would result in a self-sustaining, self-governing, self-propagating church. In 1938 he initiated a new mission with the Anuak people at Akobo on the Sudan-Ethiopia border. A team of specialists in education, agriculture, medicine and evangelism were expected to work for 15 years. Although never fully staffed and interrupted by World War II, the Akobo mission became so successfully established that in 1950 the McClures were able to open new work among the Anuaks in the Ethiopian village of Pokwo. By 1960, McClure was directing a third station at Gilo River while serving in Addis Ababa as the general secretary of the American Presbyterian Mission. Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie I, who had long supported McClure's pioneering work, requested that the American mission replicate the Anuak project among Somali nomads in the Somali border town of Gode, Ethiopia. The American Presbyterian mission declined to support this new cooperative venture between church and state, so Don and Lyda McClure began by themselves with the help of their longtime mission supporters. McClure was shot and killed by guerrillas in Gode on March 27, 1977. Don McClure was the first entrant in the book of Presbyterian martyrs.".
