Amma: Amy Carmichael of India (45 minutes)

Maggie's interest in India began as a child in the 1960's when she supported the work of the Bird's Nest Orphanage in the Raipur district. This new one-woman drama depicts the life and words of the woman known as "Amma" (mother) to hundreds of Indian children. Born in northern Ireland in 1867, Amy served the people of India as a missionary for over 50 years without a furlough. Known as a prayer warrior and the founder of Dohnavur Fellowship, this spirited woman of God began a ministry to India's forsaken children that continues to this day. Following an accident that left her bedridden for the final twenty years of her life, Amy's ministry became worldwide through her devotional writing and poetry. Maggie has written this dramatic portrayal, with its themes of spiritual motherhood, coping with suffering and reaching the lost, in the hope that a new generation will be inspired by the passion of this singular servant of God.
