Robert A. Long was a successful businessman in lumber in the Kansas City area.  His mother, Margaret K. Long, had wanted him to enter full-time Christian service, but he chose a career in business.

 Mr. Long’s first interest in missions in any large way came through his support of city missions in Kansas City and the work of the Foreign Christian Missionary Society.  He was a strong believer in Christian Missions and gave generously to the support of their work around the world.
