Joyce M. Yost Scott

Missionary/Educator/Leader in Literacy/Community Development. Joyce Scott, saved at 16, was challenged by the lost world in high school. At CBC, she was staggered to learn that India's millions had never heard of Jesus. Surrendering to the Lord's call to serve Him there, she sailed to India in 1950. Her multifaceted 44-year ministry has left its mark upon India in education, medicine, community development, and literacy. Most significantly, in 1988 India's central government named her "The Mother of Education" in recognition of her vast contribution to India's peoples. Joyce passed away in 2004.
