In 1964 a
keen young girl left New Zealand
shores and sailed to India.
Colleen Redit is still there, but much has changed. This autobiography tells
the story of Colleen’s life and Ministry in Chennai in the intervening years.
I found
this book inspirational. I have long known of Colleen and attended some of her
meetings when on furlough in New
Zealand. But the scope of the story in this
book is much greater than I knew before.
From early
beginnings in a small garage when she was finding her way in a foreign culture,
through much social change, to a multi-faceted ministry today, Colleen’s faith
remains strong. Her reason for being there is the same – to bring glory to her
Lord and Master through helping the poor and outcasts and bringing people to
faith in Christ.
Today Christian
Ministries Charitable Trust has 25 ministries with over 400 staff. Over 3000
people are helped daily with various needs. Ministries include an orphanage,
schools, handicraft workshops, medical work, and soup kitchens.
A faith
ministry, trusting God to meet their needs each day, miracles are seen every
day. Many lives have been transformed through CMCT, transformed by God himself,
and through the faithfulness of Colleen and her workers.
I recommend
this book to everyone to give a marvelous insight into what God is doing in a
small corner of India.
