About Amy Carmichael

Amy Carmichael was raised in Ireland, but she spent most of her life in India serving the Lord. Her brown eyes that she prayed would be taken away proved of use to the Lord. She was never a mother by blood, but was “Amma” to many children that she rescued from temple prostitution. Amy spent the last twenty years of her life bedridden, and she used that time to pen many different books about her relationship with the Lord. Her ministry of the Dohnavur Fellowship, a home for rescued children, still exists today. Her story is beautifully portrayed in A Chance to Die by Elisabeth Elliot.
