Today I received a newsletter from Katie Guthrie, a student from MCC who is doing a missionary internship at Kulpuhar Children's Home in India. One of the leaders of that Home is Leah Moshier. Leah Moshier and Dolly Chitwood set up this home in the 1950s to meet the need of caring for orphans in India. I met Leah at a summer family camp at New Castle, Colorado. It was a great week with Seth Wilson leading the Bible teaching, Erskine Scates doing the preaching, and Leah Moshier leading the sessions on missions. What is significant about that event in 1957 is that is where I determined to enter the ministry. Leah Moshier, unknowingly, had a part in my decision. She will never know what happened to that 18 year old scrawny boy who gave up a career in engineering and a scholarship to the Colorado School of Mines to attend a tiny Bible College. So I want to salute Leah Moshier, a pioneer in missions who has not yet retired.
