Amy Carmichael (1867 – 1951) was an Irish missionary in India who opened an orphanage and founded a mission in Dohnavur. She served in India for 55 years without once taking furlough. She wrote 35 books about her work.
Amy died in India at the age of 83. She once wrote, “The word comfort is from two Latin words meaning ‘with’ and ‘strong’ – He is with us to make us strong. Comfort is not soft, weakening commiseration; it is true, strengthening love.”
