Amy Carmichael: Mother to the Motherless | Full Movie | Elisabeth Elliot

Watch Amy Carmichael: Mother to the Motherless Full Movie on Vision Video
In 1903 Amy Carmichael risked her missionary support and shocked the Christian community with the publication of her book Things As They Are. Unlike many before her, Amy refused to sugarcoat her experience as a missionary in India. She wanted her readers to get an accurate picture of the desperate plight of some of the Indian people as well as the tremendous challenges that missionaries were facing. However, Amy's most shocking revelation was the plight of the temple girls, who were doomed to a life of abuse as they were "married" to the gods of the land. Amy Carmichael's heroic life of service has inspired countless others to sacrificially spread the Gospel, while caring for people in need. Learn more of her amazing story through this in-depth look at her life and ministry. Follow Amy's story from her childhood experiences with prayer through her years of faithful ministry and on to the establishment of The Dohnavur Fellowship, an organization which continues to serve the India Amy loved.
Director: Robert Fernandez
Starring: Elisabeth Elliot, Pastor Jonathan Clarke, Margaret Holland

Early childhood education is a fantastic opportunity for making a difference in the lives of the children and their families. I work in this area and I love it! 😍

[@grahamdwyer7926]

I had the joy of staying at the Dohnavur Fellowship with my family a few weeks ago. Such a blessing to see the dedication of decendants of Amy's rescued children (and others) continuing the legacy of Amy's call of God apon her life. The hospital, nursing home,leprosy ward, and the school are all continuing to operate in sometimes difficult financial times but always with that same incredible innocent strong unmoving faith that Jesus will provide. I couldn't think of a better Godly cause to support if anyone is moved to do so. Graham Dwyer (Australia) October 2023.

@leela7366 Are you still awaiting prayers for direction? Sister Carmichael and this film’s producers demonstrate that as in Scripture, we see no one receiving tangible direction before dedication. Within the 100% love of God and same level of disinterest in worldly affairs, follow the many commands of our Lord listed in black and white. Preach the gospel and all other matters will be added onto you.

[@lesliegordon6189]

The blessing of this movie is very personally stirring. After graduating from Columbia (USA) I was led to serve at the Shankill Road Mission,. Belfast Northern Ireland across from the Orange Club. I am a 3rd generation Indian living again in South Africa. I was rejected by the Presbyterian Church of Northern Ireland on the proviso that our history sends missionaries to Africa and we cannot set a precedent by accepting Africans to Ireland. However, I am safe in the knowledge that I am where He wants me to best serve His purpose.

[@mercyjohnson6436]

All said and done, it will do us a lot of good to always remember we do not serve an organization. But the Lord God Himself. After all who but God alone will send His faithful to the poor, the needy, the captives, the widows and the rejected? Indeed, who but God's faithful few had in the past sacrificed their all to actually GO, clothe the naked, feed the poor, free the captives and bear His redeeming Light to such remote places as India, Africa, oh the uttermost parts of the earth?? A 3rd generation Indian Christian suddenly did not spring out of nowhere, did he?

[@judithmalan1502]

Praying with you, Dear One.

[@iluv2worship]

😊Hello! I so enjoyed reading your interesting and fascinating story of how you came to serve in the place, you are today… Now, it may help you to remember you are in good company as the “religious people” of Jesus day rejected and even hated Him, too! 🙌🏻To GOD Be the Glory! ETA: Scripture for clarification. In John 13:15, Jesus sets an example for us to follow. After washing His disciples' feet - an act of love, humility, and service - He encourages us to follow His lead and serve one another. "I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you," Jesus says.

[@rnjan9]

Inspirational. Grateful. Awed. Thank you, Amy Carmichael, for all you have meant to all kinds of people - especially my people, the ordinary Indian folks. Words are not enough to describe my feelings of gratefulness. For now, a simple 'thanks to you' and 'thanks to God' would suffice.

[@myredeemerlivesamen991]

I studied in the school in the same campus. Praise God for Amy Carmichael's life. We often saw these little girls in the campus. They had their own side where they lived a life completely engulfed with stories of Amma and their own world. Most of them stayed back and served instead of leaving the premises to lead a normal life.

[@desireduplessis3875]

Amys life story speaks of the Real Church. Not the Prosperity Gospel many of us is caught up in today. Her life represents The Word of God that reflects the Power of God. A True Representative of Christ and His Church. Lord have mercy on us. I can now understand why Jesus said that there will be a seperation on the Day and why He will say I know you not. Im reminded of Matthew 25.

[@watchman4todayreloaded192]

What wonderful clarity this woman had. I have never had this degree of certainty. It is truly amazing how God guides some people and they are enabled to see and hear so clearly what God is telling them.

[@janetrapaport8622]

one time a journalist did a story on Mother Teresa of Calcutta. He stayed there with her and the poor and dying for weeks while he observed and wrote his story. when it was time for him to go Mother Teresa asked the journalist, "How can I pray for you?" He thought a minute and said, "Will you ask God to give me the same 'clarity' that you have in your life and work?" Mother Teresa looked the journalist in the eyes and replied, "my son, I don't have clarity...I have TRUST. I trust God and He does the rest. This story has stayed with me for years. There is no voice telling us what to do or how to do it. We have the word of God as a guide. It is active and alive and very powerful. The most important quality we possess is Christ in us. The more we allow Christ in us for our body soul and spirit, the more we will know what we are to do. Obedience is the key and faith is the vehicle by which we know.

[@lelahmasters757]

The Bible says that the Holy Spirit is our guide and my sheep hear my voice and they follow me.... we need to be still and listen

[@mercyjohnson6436]

Of course God gives us clarity. If only we'd listen! Primarily, we got to remember God created mankind to proclaim His First Coming and its Divine Purpose thereof He so clearly demonstrated in the manner He created us - Gen 1:26-Gen 2:25. So, knowing that we were created for the very purpose of proclaiming the Gospel, how is it that we claim we struggle to discern His will for us? Secondly, as regards the nature of God's work assigned to each one of us, understand by discerning the times as the Lord has so perfectly and thoroughly clarified it to us. Refer Matt 24, Mk 13, Lk 21. For examples, learn from the nature of work of that of the apostles which clearly differed say from the nature of the work Ms Carmichael did. So, is it too difficult to understand the nature of work we are called to do in these end times? Is the time for Sowing when clearly Harvest is at hand? How long will one continue in the infantile diet of milk and not begin to crave solid foods for the Spiritually mature as one ought to? Refer Heb 5:11-14 for instance. How long will the churches pander to this rebellious generation and not warn them of the coming wrath of God?? How long will the churches pretend to molly-coddle the flock not permitting them an inch beyond the elementary truths so that they remain despicably complacent despite their obvious ignorance?? If you have failed to have clarity from God it is because you heed your so-called leaders and not God who exhorts that, ref. Jn 6:45, ALL GOD'S PEOPLE WILL BE TAUGHT BY GOD ALONE. For, most of all, understand that we are but akin to 'waiters' at His Table (eg. Lk 22:27), and we shall not be equipped to serve unless we are equipped by Him alone from whose Storehouse we are called to serve in the first place - eg. Matt 13:52.

[@FRN2013]

The more we obey what God tells us, the more he communicates with us even more. Amy heard from God often because she obeyed God faithfully.
