ABOUT MARGARET ASHMORE
澳洲168幸运10开奖官网开奖计划-168澳洲幸运10开奖官方网址 is an author, speaker and artist. Her greatest passion is to declare the sufficiency of Christ for healing of hearts, restoring of souls and transforming lives.
With grace and artistry, she paints a portrait of God’s love through the power of the cross to heal hearts and transform lives.

Her story affirms that only in going to the cross and laying down one’s own life can the soul truly experience the freedom and joy of Christ’s life within. The words of the great hymn writer, Fanny Crosby, ring out through Margaret’s testimony of God’s love and mercy: “This is my story, this is my song, praising my Savior all the day long!”
Margaret attends Benchmark Bible Church in Denton, Texas, where she serves as director of the counseling ministry in addition to leading Bible studies for women. She is a frequent speaker for women’s retreats and conferences across the country as an outreach of her church.

Jim Elliot and Elisabeth Howard went individually to Ecuador to work with the Quichua (or Quechua) Indians; the two married in 1953 in the city of Quito, Ecuador. In January of 1956, her husband Jim was speared to death along with four of his missionary friends while attempting to contact the Waorani tribe.
