Amy Carmichael was born on the Shankill Road in Belfast (now the capital city of Northern Ireland) She was considered unusual as she had dark brown eyes which in a nordic blue eyed community caused other children to tease her. As a child she often prayed that God change her eyes to blue. Her Christian mother reassured her that she had brown eyes because God had a good reason for giving her brown eyes even though at that time she did not know what that was. Later when she went to India as a missionary in the community as dark drown is the prevailing eye colour. The she developed a deep sense of kinship with India and the Indians but she never forgot her roots on the Shankill Road, where she sponsored the building of a church still known as Welcome Hall. She is still highly regarded in Northern Ireland as one of the most influential Christian women of the 19/20th centuries.
