From Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Fellowshipped at St James, Croydon, Australia.
She was both a missionary to Ghana and a high-flying academic building up the intellectual muscles of a growing church. At first, environmentalism drove her study, and lecture at Sydney University. She studied the water supply in four African countries, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, and Tanzania. She then worked as a lecturer at the International Training Institute in Sydney for the Department of Foreign Affairs. She was contacted twice by the missionary organisation SIM, inviting her to join their team to do research into tribal customs in Ghana, particularly in the north ands both times refused them, but once again, God, in his love, refused to let Allison keep going her own way. She decided that if they asked her a third time, she will know that it’s God who is asking. They asked her again. That was the beginning for Allison giving so many years of her life to working with God in Ghana.
She helped foster a new generation of Christian researchers across Africa. God had a plan for Christian scholarship across Africa, and Alison helped the African church mature.
