Amy dedicated her life to helping Adults and childern of Japan and India find christ. She gave up having a husband and children of her own to give young girls and boys in India a home. The life of Amy Carmichaelwas very inspiring, but she faced many hardships wherever she lived. She lived in many places: Ireland, England, Japan, and India. The trials Amy faced in Ireland and England helped shape the type of person she became. In November of 1882 Amy’s father called her home to Ireland. When she got there she found out that their family flour business was not doing well and they could not aforde the school

In the slums of Ireland she found a group of women called the shawlies; they were out cast factory workers. Amy saw an ad for a tin tabernacel that she could build as a worship space for the shawlies. The only problem was that it was too expensive and they had nowhere to put it. So she prayed and God provided the money, a girl named Kate Mitchell gave Amy the money for the tin tabernacle. After Amy built the tin tabernacle her mom and Amy moved to England. There she moved to the slum but she had to move back into the city because of her health. When Amy was living with a man named Robert Wilson Amy felt what she called “the call” to be a missionary to China but was not exepted because of her health. So she applied to be missonary to Japan and go exepted. All of these things helped Amy with facing her trial in

Amy’s travels to Japan were very difficult. She had to say goodbye to Robert Wilson who was like a father figure to her. So she was so sad that she had to say goodbye. Once the ship was close to the port of Japan, the ship could not come any closer because the ship was trapped in a typoon. So people that were inland came up to the ship in a tugboat and the ship droped the passengers onto the tugboat , and it took the passengers to shore. Another trial Amy faced in Japan was the culture. The people of Japan were mezmerized by the clothes Amy wore, they were different from what they were used to. Once Amy and her interpreter, Misaki San, were trying to share the gospel with an older woman but the woman seemed distracted. It was Amy’s clothes the woman took off of Amy's glove and studied it. Amy and Miaki San could not get the women to focus on the gospel message any more. After that Amy got very sick, and the doctor told her she needed to get out of Japan and go to a different climate. So Amy decided to go to China as she originally planned but the missionary hospiatol was already full. So Amy changed course and went to Colombo Ceylon. Everything that happened to Amy helped her help a lot of others in
