EVANGELICAL WOMEN IN THE FIRST HALF OF 1900; BETTY SCOTT STAM 1906 P/9

In this post I will focus on a woman named Betty Scott Stam. She lived from 1906 - 1934. Betty grew up in Tsintao (today called Qingdao), a city on the east coast of China, where her father, Charles Scott, was a missionary.

In 1925, Betty attended a Keswick convention held in New Jersey. Upon hearing D.L.Moody preach she responded to the call to be amongst the 200 to be trained at Moody's Chicago Bible Institute to reach the unreached through the China Inland Mission.

In 1926, Betty returned to the United States to begin to attend Moody's Chicago Bible Institute. While there she met another student, John Stam. He too had gone to the College to prepare for mission work in China. Over time their friendship deepened and their love and commitment for living for Christ was their most precious bond. 

Betty returned to China in 1931 to serve with the China Inland Mission (CIM) while John still had a year to complete in his studies. However, he joined her in China in 1933 and they got married that year.
