AB Missionary biography, when properly analyzed and utilized, is an invaluable source for missiological principles and strategy. This introductory essay challenges the reader to search out the lives of missionaries and to let these lives offer personal understanding and practical insights in order to inform better the study of global mission outreach. Three missionaries whose lives and ministries were intertwined in southern India are featured: Sherwood Eddy (1871–1963), Amy Carmichael (1867–1951), and Stephen Neill (1900–1984).
