Helping precious stones
An Olympic champion who renounces his glory to go on a mission to China? A young Dutch girl who risks her life to save Jews? An English servant preaching the Gospel in China? An American pilot who puts himself at the service of missionaries in Ecuador?
The “Heroes of Faith” collection tells the true, exciting, challenging and moving stories of ordinary men and women who, through their faith in God, accomplished extraordinary feats for His Kingdom and glory.
Amy Carmichael (1867-1951)
Amy stood on the deck of the steamboat, once again bidding farewell to her old friend Robert Wilson. She knew this time that she would probably never see him again. What she didn't know, however, was that she would never set foot on the British Isles again. Amy believed God had called her to India. And, indeed, India would be his home for the rest of his life.
Amy's life was marked by simple, determined obedience to God, despite circumstances and consequences. His story and legacy are a sensational reminder of the impact a person who fears God and nothing and no one else can have. Driven by love and compassion, sustained by faith and determination, Amy Carmichael defied the cruel barriers of the Indian caste system. The story of this young woman from Northern Ireland is a shining example of God's love poured out abundantly for "the least among us."
