Lynne Kelly, Part 2 Nov 07, 2023

Show notes

As a young woman, Lynne became somewhat jaded to Christianity because of a negative experience her parents had with a church. She only agreed to go to Bible college because her best friend was going and it afforded her the opportunity to live in Southern California. When Lynne surrendered to the conviction of the Holy Spirit and gave her life to Jesus, she could only think of what she was giving up to follow Him. She came to realize, however, as she surrendered more and more to the Lord, that God had great things in store for her, including marrying the love of her life and serving in Africa!

Mary Ann Bickerdyke, Part 2 Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Mary’s early life was filled with loss. Nevertheless, unlike many other women born in the 1800s, Mary was determined to go to college. She graduated from Oberlin college, married, became a step-mother, and birthed two sons before experiencing the loss of her beloved husband. During this time, Mary studied and trained in the field of nursing under an eminent doctor and became a practitioner. One Sunday at church, Mary heard an urgent appeal for trained nurses to volunteer to nurse the injured northern forces and immediately volunteered. Her care, service, and contributions to the welfare of the “boys” fighting in the Civil War became well-known. Mary set up over 200 field hospitals, collected and organized supplies, enforced life-saving hygienic practices, and saved countless lives. Mary was a force of nature! This podcast is filled with entertaining antidotes of her determination and success.
