Description

Let me be like that, Lord, flowering best when life seems most dry and dead. – Evie Brand, circa 1913

Watching the flowers bloom brilliantly during India's "dry season," missionary Evie Brand spoke these words and dedicated her life to winning the people of India for Christ. Despite being widowed, retired and inflicted with infirmities, Evie traveled from village to village, evangelizing on all five mountain ranges known as the Mountains of Death.

Christian history abounds with the names of women like Evie who had a tremendous influence on the spread of Christianity and on the entire tone of civilization.
