Stella Franklin

Stella Franklin biography, The famine of

1896–1897 was one of the terrible times

That India has ever faced. The mortality,

Both from starvation and accompanying

Epidemics, was very high:

Approximately one million people are thought

To have died. When Indians were drowned

In their sufferings, God raised several Godly

Men and women to meet their spiritual

And physical needs. One of them was Stella

Franklin.

Stella Franklin came to India

In 1895, prepared for teaching just

Like her sister Josepha. But,

The seriousness of the famine changed her

Course of work. Stella was asked

To be the part of relief work,

Where her sister was already there.

She took charge of a government run orphanage

And looked after hundreds of children.

Many of those children did not have homes

To return to after the famine was over.

Stella took them under her wings,

Fed them, taught them, and nourished them

Spiritually.

Stella Franklin ministry in India

Stella started the women's evangelistic work

In Damoh. Initially, she reached out

To the mothers of the children

In her orphanage. When she went out

On her evangelistic trips, she lived

In tents and never cared for personal safety

And comfort. She visited nearly seventy

Villages at a stretch on one trip,

To most of which no evangelist had ever gone.

Her Bible teaching to all groups was

Practical and clear.

In 1905, she went to Harda to manage the

Education ministry and school administration.

Then she went to Jabalpur to teach

In the Bible college. In 1912,

She went to Mungeli to the work of the girls'

Boarding school. In this work,

She spent the remaining years of her service.

Wherever she went, her advice was sought

In church councils and home affairs,

And her excellent sense and sympathetic

Understanding could always be counted

On.

Beloved, are you available to meet the

Spiritual and physical needs of the lost

Souls?
