Mimosa A True Story

"Amy Carmichael's account of the life of a poor Indian woman, Mimosa, resounds with amazing examples of faith, of miraculous answers to prayer and the ultimate triumph of the HolySpirit. Mimosa's story unfolds at the turn of the 20th century, when Mimosa, as a little girl, hears a brief gospel message. With this as her only guide, she endures years of ridicule and opposition from her Hindu family and fellow villagers. Eventually she finds help and support from Amy at the Dohnavur Fellowship, a mission founded to rescue girls from the degradation many of them faced in the Hindu temples. Mimosa's story is at times hard to fathom as true, but with God all things are possible, and He has obviously blessed her life as a testimony to the truth of I Corinthians 10:13 - that we will not betempted above that we are able to bear. Mimosa's descendants are stillassociated with Dohnavur even though the mission is no longer involved in its original vision"--Introduction.
