Known to many as Amma, or revered mother, the story of Amy Carmichael is one of true sacrificial love. Throughout Carmichael’s ministry she adopted a spirit of service and love for those considered “unlovable”. One of her most famous ministries was the rescuing of temple girls in the Indian jungles.

The mill girl ministry soon grew, and before long, a hall for their weekly meetings was built, named The Welcome. This hall is now known as the Welcome Evangelical Church. In 1895, Amy arrived upon the shores of India, where she, along with a few of the native Indian women, began teaching the gospel wherever possible. They named themselves ‘The Starry Cluster’.

Her mother had sold her to a Hindu temple, where she would be a temple prostitute, in the hopes of gaining favour from the gods. Preena’s plight sparked a fire in Amy, as her eyes were opened to God’s plan for her. There were certainly many more temple girls in need of rescue, and Amy longed to do all she could to save them from their horrid fate. Initially, Amy was rather reluctant to start raising children, as the local villagers had a saying, -“Children tie the mother’s feet.” However, after three months of prayer and four more homeless children, Amy had made up her mind. Her feet would be tied “for the sake of Him whose feet once were nailed.” (Susan Verstraete 2006:para. 7). It didn’t take long for Amy to take action, founding the Dohnavur Fellowship. Over a thousand children found refuge in the arms of their newly found Amma,

Amy Tan, in ?Mother Tongue,? Does an excellent job at fully explaining her self through many different ways. It?s not hard to see the compassion and love she has for her mother and for her work.
