Title: Gladys Aylward


1
Gladys Aylward
  • Missionary to China
  • During a war involving Japan, China, and Russia,
    she marched 100 orphans for 100 miles through the
    mountains to safety in Siam. She also rescued
    young girls from the torture of foot-binding.

Amy Carmichael
  • Missionary to India
  • She rescued young girls who were forced to be
    temple prostitutes in Hindu temples. She started
    a home for these children called the Dohnavur
    Fellowship. She ministered in India for 53 years
    without a furlough.

Lillian Trasher
  • Missionary to Egypt
  • Known as the Mother of the Nile, Lillian
    founded the first orphanage in Egypt. She broke
    her marriage engagement to spend her life for God
    on the mission field. For over 50 years she
    continued on despite poverty, war, and deadly
    epidemics. She changed the lives of thousands of
    children.

Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu (Mother Teresa)
  • Missionary to the slums of Calcutta, India
  • Orphans, beggars, lepers, the sick, the dying and
    the homeless all called her mother. In 1950 she
    founded the Missionaries of Charity order of
    nuns, which has grown to over 3,000 nuns in
    centers around the world. She received the Nobel
    Peace Prize in 1979.
  • Each one of us is a co-worker of Christ - we
    must labour hard to carry Him to the hearts where
    He has not yet been known and loved. But, unless
    we have Jesus, we cannot give Him.

Mary Slessor
  • Missionary to Calabar, Africa
  • Daring to face headhunters, witchcraft and
    disease she traveled to one of the most dangerous
    places on the earth. Much of her time was spent
    spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ from
    village to village. She also confounded the
    witch-doctors as she accurately treated the
    medical needs of the people. If a family had
    twins, one of the babies was thought to be a
    devil so they would leave the child in the
    jungle. Mary rescued these children.

Marie Eiland
  • Missionary to India
  • Formerly a missionary in El Salvador, Marie
    Eiland brought structure and curriculum to a
    Childrens Evangelistic program called Kings
    Castle. She now travels to churches and villages
    throughout India to train childrens workers and
    pastors for the ministry. She has also provided
    training for Christian Schools and Childrens
    Ministry Conferences. She does evangelistic work
    in villages along the Himalayas. She has a
    vision to reach the children of India, that they
    might change the future of India for Christ.

Who are the Esthers in this generation that God
has called for a time such as this?
Ezekiel 2230 - "I looked for someone who might
rebuild the wall of righteousness that guards the
land. I searched for someone to stand in the gap
in the wall so I wouldn't have to destroy the
land, but I found no one. Ezekiel 3466 - They
have wandered through the mountains and hills,
across the face of the earth, yet no one has gone
to search for them. Isaiah 5810 - Feed the
hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light
will shine out from the darkness, and the
darkness around you will be as bright as day.

  • It is our obligation as people of God, whom are
    carrying the baton for this leg of the race, to
    be faithful to intercede for and support our
    world missionaries. Intercession is the way that
    leads to the winning of souls. No church can
    prosper without it. No Christian can grow
    without it. The law of life demands reproduction
    - that kind should beget kind.
  • Jesus interceded for us.
  • You begin to care for a person spiritually when
    you begin to pray for them.
