Christian Heroes: Then & Now: Amy Carmichael (Rescuer of Precious Treasure)

Amy Carmichael remained on the steamer's deck, bidding farewell once more to her old friend Robert Wilson. She did not know that she would never see him again; nor the British Isles. Amy was certain that God had called her to India. This would be her home for the rest of her life.

 

Amy's life was marked by simple, resolute obedience to God, regardless of circumstances or consequences. Her story and legacy are astounding reminders of the impact made by a person who fears God and no one else.

 

Moved by love and compassion, and sustained by faith and determination, Amy Carmichael challenged the cruel barriers of India's caste system. The story of this Northern Irish woman is a brilliant, dazzling example of God's love, generously poured out upon "the least of these among us."
