Ida stomped her foot on the ground. Her friends were wrong. "I will not be a missionary in India, like my parents!" she grumbled. "Don't any of you say I'll be a missionary, because I never will be." Ida had not been able to forget the faces of the children, victims of famine. She hated India - it was full of terrible situations for which there could be no solution.

Ida Scudder was sure she would never follow in the footsteps of her father, a missionary doctor. But when she saw that Indian women were dying because their religious beliefs did not allow them to be treated by male doctors, Ida found herself uttering a prayer: "Lord, if it is your will, I will spend the rest of my life in India trying to help these women."

In a life of service spanning almost sixty years, Dr. Ida Scudder embodied the truth and compassion found in Christ. She founded a prestigious medical school and hospital, provided life-saving healthcare to many villagers, and left behind a beautiful legacy that continues to benefit millions of people each year, spreading health and hope.
