JIM AND VIOLA HALBERT served as missionaries for 29 years, mostly in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) of West Africa. Viola wanted to be a missionary from the time she was five years old. Jim made his commitment as a teenager. Initially they pioneered in an area previously unreached by the gospel. They saw the Senoufo tribe churches grow from one believer to over 10,000.
Their experiences included Africans being delivered from evil spirits and an African boy being made a human sacrifice. Viola was active in teaching children and women as well as providing a ministry of hospitality. Jim frequently served as a speaker at missionary and African conferences and camps. He was also a leader in nationwide and continentwide inter-mission cooperative ministries. He was knighted by the Ivoirien government “for eminent services rendered to Côte d’Ivoire.”
“Ivory in Our Hearts” contains photos and maps, an 18-page index, and a foreword by Dr. Clyde Cook, president of BIOLA University.

"Encouraging & eye-opening!"
This is a remarkable and inspiring book. This is the real and touching experience of a devoted couple who have been married over 60 years and loved each other so well in spite of very challenging circumstances. This is a couple whose integrity has remained intact in a world where many so-called religious and spiritual leaders have fallen in so many ways. The simplicity and humbleness and love of family is so evident and continues in their lives to this day. This a true testimony, humbly told, with the desire to honor God rather than promote themselves. A story of faith and courage in spite of daunting circumstances, rarely found these days - a shining light of hope.
"Be inspired and challenged!"
"Ivory in our Hearts" introduced me to the Halberts, whose adventures in faith took them to interesting places where both the needs and the opportunities for service were enormous. After investing many years of their lives as missionaries, they have now recorded their experiences in this absorbing chronicle, seasoned throughout with clear evidences of God's activity working in and through their efforts.
After reading this book, I feel as though I know the Halbert family. Certainly I have a better understanding of what is involved in a missionary endeavor, and an enhanced appreciation for those who are faithful to respond when God calls. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to be challenged and inspired. You will be encouraged as you encounter the Halberts and see how God can use real people to accomplish His purposes around the world.
