    Susan Angeline Collins, Part 1 Feb 14, 2023
    Show notes

    In honor of Black History month, we are excited to share about an amazing woman of color. Susan was born on July 3, 1851 in the free state of Illinois. Her parents, Isaac and Sarah Ann, were both emancipated slaves. She was the first Black woman to graduate from Upper Iowa University; the first black woman to graduate from Chicago Training School; and the first black woman to be supported and sent out as a missionary to Africa by the Women’s Foreign Mission Society. Susan worked in various capacities with Bishop Taylor before starting and building her own school and orphanage in Quessua where she served as the administrator, teacher, principal, and nurse for over twenty-five years. When she returned to the states, Susan was a sought-after speaker at women’s meetings, churches, and various events. She never complained about the hardships or setbacks of her life, though there were many, but rather she worked with whatever circumstances life presented her with great success. Her story is so remarkable that we needed three episodes to highlight the obstacles, accomplishments, and events of her life

    Ka’ahumanu, Part 3 Feb 07, 2023
    Show notes

    Robin has a personal affection for our unforgettable Woman Worth Knowing this week. During the decade that Robin lived on Maui, she saw the name “Ka’ahumanu” on a church, a shopping mall, and street signs. She began researching this extraordinary woman and found conflicting opinions over this powerful woman’s influence in the Hawaiian Islands. She lived during a period of vast change. Known as “the favorite” wife of King Kamehameha the Great, Ka’ahumanu held the role of “Kuhina Nui” or Queen. After his death, she ruled supreme during the reign of two of Kamehameha’s sons. The first company of New England Protestant missionaries arrived 11 months after her husband died, and by and by Ka’ahumanu put her faith in Christ alone. She was born in a cave before the arrival of Western contact, when human sacrifice was still practiced. Right before she died in 1832, she was handed the very first copy of the Hawaiian New Testament. As a result of many of her significant decisions, revival spread through the islands.

    Florence Soper Booth was not raised in a Christian home. However, when she heard the gospel on a trip to London, she committed her life to Jesus. Though shy and unassuming, Florence proved to be a brilliant leader and administrator. She oversaw much of the work of the Salvation Army in London and started ministries that benefited young girls and women.

    Mattie Elimina Perry Dec 27, 2022
    Show notes

    Mattie Elimina Perry was a lovely and colorful young woman who was fully committed to Jesus. She sought to serve the Lord with all her heart. She wanted to be a missionary in China, but was called by God to open and oversee an orphanage and Bible College in North Carolina during the late 19th century. Her story of faith and God’s provision is wonderful.
