Zula Terry (1896-1986), American Missionary, was born in 1896. Zula graduated from the University of Texas with her B.A. and graduated from Peabody College with her M.A. Upon graduation Zula entered into missionary service with the Women's Missionary Council through the Texas Branch in 1925 and started work in 1926 as an education and church service organizer to Brazil. Her work centered on the Instituto Gymnasial and Porto Alegre along with other locations. In Porto Alegre Zula concentrated upon evangelism and organizing, training and overseeing indigenous Bible Women along the lines of the successful China Bible Women program. Besides her work mentioned above, other areas of ministries include the following: The Day School at the Institutional Church as superintendent of the Primary Department for Sunday School and part-time work at the Colegio Americano. Reflecting her experience as a missionary, Zula contributed an article to the Missionary Voice concerning the need for the Institutional Church in Porto Alegro in April 1934. Zula departed from the field on December 22, 1961 and died on January 24, 1986.
