Amy Carmichael never appealed for money for Dohnavur. She said, ‘It is enough that our Heavenly Father knows that we have need of all these things, so why mention the need to others? Rather let Him remind them of it, and then every gift can be received without misgiving as an answer to prayer.’
(Frank Houghton, “Amy Carmichael of Dohnavur”)
"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and you will call him Immanuel."
Isaiah 7: 14
