About this episode
This episode explores the life and faith of Louisa A. Lowrie, a devoted missionary wife.
In this episode, we explore the life of Louisa A. Lowrie — a young missionary wife whose brief but radiant faith burned brightly for Christ. Through her own journals and letters, we see a woman of deep devotion, tender conscience, and unwavering surrender, who gave everything to the cause of the gospel even unto death. A moving testimony of holiness, missionary zeal, and wholehearted love for Christ. If you would like to learn more about Louisa A. Lowrie, consider reading Memoirs of Mrs. Louisa A. Lowrie . We would be happy to send you a copy for free! Simply send an email with your address to info@gpts.edu and request the book. Dead Presbyterians Society is a ministry of Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary. This time of year is a special year at the seminary; we say goodbye to our graduating class, and prepare to welcome new students. It is also the end of our fiscal year, and because of the growth of our student body, we have an increased need this year. Will you help us reach our goal? Consider supporting GPTS, and partnering with us in training the next generation of pastors. You can give online at gpts.edu/give .
