Topic: MISSIONARY STORY- AMY CARMICHAEL
Biblical Text: “ Therefore my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord”. [1 Corinthians 15:58]
Amy Beatrice Carmichael was born on December 16, 1867 in the village on the northern coast of Ireland. Young Carmichael was a precocious child who spent her days exploring. Amy’s hunger for adventure repeatedly got her into trouble. God placed clear spiritual guideposts in Amy Carmichael’s life to lead her on the road to India. Amy gave her life to Christ when she was sixteen years old. She attended series of Christian meeting that made her grow spiritually. On a snowy night, January 13, 1892, twenty four year old Amy spent the evening in her room in prayers reflecting on the lost and dying millions throughout the world. As clearly as if she heard her mother’s voice, she heard the words, ‘Go ye’ in her heart. Everything around her seemed to be repeating, ‘Go ye’. In God’s providence, she received a letter from a friend in Bangalore, India writing her to join the Church of England mission there. Amy was delighted. She accepted the offer. Amy was a selfless missionary who dedicated her life to loving the unloved children of southern India; transforming thousands of India lives in more than fifty five years of service. Amy saw the Christian life as a chance to die to oneself, so that Christ might be revealed. Amy often declared about her hardworking toil among the people of India, ‘I would rather burn out than rust out!’ At the time of Amy’s death, over half a million of her books had been printed in English. Several titles had been translated into 15 different languages and twelve had been printed in Braille. Amy made impact for Christ; receive grace to impact your generation too!
