Which hero rescued girls from Hindu temples?

It was 1901 in India, and a widowed woman was struggling to survive after the death of her husband ... 

10 of 16 Amy Carmichael From the Heroes of Faith Series Over the next several weeks, we will be featuring real heroes—men and women who have accomplished so much for the Lord in the face of unimaginable circumstances. We hope you'll read over them and look to their examples for hope and encouragement. "Satan is so much more in earnest than we are—he buys up the opportunity while we are wondering how much it will cost." ― Amy Carmichael "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience." (Col. 3:12) It was 1901 in India, and a widowed woman was struggling to survive after the death of her husband. Her only choice was to make a sacrifice to their god, in order to gain blessings. But the sacrifice that was required was incredibly great—her own daughter—offered up as a "temple girl," a servant in the Hindu temples ... Several years earlier, Amy Carmichael had secluded herself in a cave in the mountains of Japan to be alone with God and pray about her future. She had traveled from her home in Northern Ireland and served as a missionary in Japan, but she knew that God was leading her in another direction. She had so many questions: Would she ever get married? Would she have any children? If she continued serving the Lord alone, would she get lonely? Amy felt the Lord saying to her, "None of them that trust in Me shall be desolate." The reassurance from God stayed with Amy throughout her life. Amy returned to the mission field—this time in India—where she gathered a small group to witness among the people. When she learned of the plight of the temple girls, she focused her ministry rescuing them. Battling many obstacles, Amy and her co-workers for the Lord rescued dozens of temple children. Some grew up to continue Amy's ministry, thankful for God's grace and the missionaries' kindness. Instead of experiencing the loneliness she feared when she was younger, Amy became the mother of many children whose lives she had saved. About 30 years after Amy began saving children, she fell and injured her leg. The injury kept her bedridden for 20 years. However, Amy continued to serve God by writing numerous books and thousands of letters from her bed. She died in India at the age of 83. Amy Carmichael's love for the children in the Hindu temples of India and her desire to rescue them into God's love came out of her great kindness for others. She noticed the needs of those around her and tried to meet those needs if she could. We, too, can find ways to serve others and meet the needs of those around us through prayer, help, and encouragement.   GET YOUR TORCHLIGHTERS GIFT SET Receive the complete Torchlighters gift set with Augustine and 15 other heroes of faith.
