A Woman Who Laughed at Impossibility | Henrietta Soltau | Printed Book

A Woman Who Laughed? What do you mean “laughed”? Henrietta Soltau didn’t laugh in humor—she laughed in steadfast confidence in her sovereign God, crying in prayer, “It shall be done!” When illness barred her from overseas missions, she refused to be deterred. Instead, she lifted her heart in prayer and praise, trusting in the Lord’s promise to sustain His work through every challenge—illness, poverty, storm, or strife.

Born into a devout Christian home where all nine Soltau children eventually bowed to Christ, Henrietta answered the call to serve through prayer at at home work, transforming Exeter’s poorest halls into thriving mission schools, founding Europe’s first training home for women missionaries, and carrying the Gospel through typhoons and civil unrest—all by the quiet power of prayer.
