W. C. MacDougall ministry in India

MacDougall was an influential preacher and evangelist. But perhaps his most significant contribution to India was being a teacher and principal of Bible College in Jabalpur, where he trained many Indian Christian leaders. These trained God servants took the Gospel to interior parts of India. While not a trained physician, MacDougall had considerable knowledge of practical medicine.

On his evangelistic trips, he often treated common ailments and gave advice to the sick. Apart from the missionary work, MacDougall edited the ‘Sahayak Patrika,’ a weekly mission magazine. Annie was involved in teaching the wives of the men students of the Bible College. She was a content woman who found happiness in clothing, feeding and caring for the needy.

In 1926, W. C. MacDougall family left India and returned to Canada, where Dr. MacDougal became pastor of the Hillcrest Church of Christ. There he also taught at the Canadian School of Missions. While Dr. MacDougall went to be with the Lord in 1935, Annie continued to live in Toronto, helping her two daughters prepare to go to India for missionary service.
