Aimee Beatrice Carmichael

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

If you're an advocate for rescuing human sex slaves and stopping human trafficking, you are thanks to this young woman, Aimee Beatrice Carmichael, born in December 6, 1867, she was raised hearing the miracle power of Jesus and from the age of 3 would pray that God would change her brown eyes to the color blue, like her mother and baby brother Norman.

 But God would deny her that request, she would live her life not understanding why God can turn water into wine but not turn her brown eyes blue, until many years later God led her to India where she heard terrible stories of Hindu temple rituals where she discovered that young girls were sold and groomed for temple prostitution for the pleasure of the  Hindu priests and village men. 

This was a phenomenon that the government didn’t know how to handle nor did other missionaries, but Carmichael, not having any guidance since no one has ever dealt with human trafficking decided she could not stand idle. Aimee would cover her entire body and face in customs of the culture to sneak into the temples and rescue the children prostitutes despite knowing the danger that she could be killed if caught! 

The reason why she was not caught was simple. Her brown eyes! And at that moment she realized why God had denied her requests for blue eyes. Aimee would be forever known as the brave young women who said yes when God’s cry was heard for child slavery!

A Blessing From The Ashes

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is a true story about God turning a curse into a blessing!

WILLIAM CAREY.

On the evening of March 11, 1812, as William Ward sat at his desk completing the day’s work, smoke began to pour from the hall from the south side of the print shop. Quickly, Ward closed all the windows and doors, and he, Joshua Marshman, and the native workers poured water through the roof for four hours until the fire appeared to be out.

Tragically, as Ward and Marshman checked for damages, someone (who was never discovered) opened several windows in the print shop, and the fire blazed back to life, sweeping through every corner of the building.

In the devastating loss, the final draft of the universal dictionary, ten different versions of the Bible, several other manuscripts, and many hand-cut type fonts were completely destroyed. With tears streaming down his face, Carey walked among the ruins with Marshman and Ward.

“In one evening,” he said, “the labours of years are consumed. How unsearchable are the ways of God!”

William and Charlotte wept together in anguish over the loss of so many years of work.

Once again, Carey turned to his Savior and left the tragedy in God’s hands. He didn’t understand, but he trusted the God who was the Author and Finisher of his faith. Fortunately, five printing presses and much of the foundational type had survived. The next day, William gathered his heartbroken colleagues around him and said, “We must stay the course, trusting God, who has brought us safe thus far. We can rebuild and replace what was lost.”

To William’s astonishment, the Serampore disaster made his mission famous all over Europe and America. When the news of the fire reached Europe, churches throughout the continent prayed for the mission and sent ten thousand pounds to India to fund the replacement of what had been lost. Andrew Fuller had to circulate a letter asking people to stop sending money! Hearing of the mission’s success in the gospel, churches in England and the United States requested a portrait of William Carey to place in their halls in his honor.

And so, in His faithfulness, God used the fire disaster for the good. God doesn’t cause these things to happen, but He is faithful to make good come from there. “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28 KJV).

Lam Jeevaratnam

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Lam Jeevaratnam

Lam Jeevaratnam gave up everything of earthly value and began preaching the Gospel with signs and wonders following. He had gone to England to make money as an artistic entertainer, but God's plans prevailed. He was saved in an open-air meeting in Leeds, then went to Howard Carter's Bible school where he was baptized in the Holy Spirit!

In Jeevaratnam's meetings, the dumb spoke, the ears of the deaf were opened, the lame walked, severe internal pains vanished, and the blind received their sight! In his meetings, it was obvious that Jesus has all power over the enemy, and He has invested that same power in believers.

Jeevaratnam had an unusual discernment of the presence of demon power and the knowledge of how to deal with it! In India, he was often called "Lam, the devil chaser," because he stayed with his calling, which was a mighty deliverance message that Christ is the answer to human needs.

He dominated demons in a very strong manner until anyone could tell there was no fear in him, because demons ran from him!

He lectured and spoke some in England during his life, but his greatest work was among the villages of India. There are more villages in India than anywhere in the world, except China. They grow their own food, live their simple lives, and die unknown to, and mostly unknowing of, the world in which Western Christians live.

He had to stay on the move from one of these villages to another, and we are talking about perhaps a hundred thousand of them, in order to stay out of the way of the Hindu officials. They would like to have killed him!

I am sure we looked like two funny "ducks" walking down the street together or into some of the churches where we ministered together — him with a beard and in the long Indian robes and me dressed like a young Englishman.

Jeevartnam held a tremendous revival once in Poona City. The revival was held outdoors to accommodate the masses of people attending. People from numerous sects and denominations came — from Hindus to Mohammedans, Brahmans, outcasts, Parsees, Jews, Sikhs, Panthans, Roman Catholics, to name a few. Rich and poor and high and low caste sat together listening to the full Pentecostal Gospel preached by Brother Jeevaratnam.

The missionary sisters and young Indian men and women helped control the crowds of sick people who came for prayer. Similar to the days of Jesus' earthly ministry, people climbed surrounding walls and looked on from balconies of houses and tree branches. 

Perhaps thousands of people heard the gospel preached through Brother Jeevaratnam
