A YOUNG MAN LEFT EVERYTHING TO PREACH TO A NATION THAT DIDN'T WANT HIM... BUT GOD USED HIM TO SHAKE CHINA!
Hudson Taylor was just a young man when God placed China on his heart. At that time, millions of people in inland China had never heard the gospel. Most missionaries stayed near the coast because the interior was dangerous, filled with disease, poverty, persecution, and bandits.
But Hudson Taylor could not ignore the burden.
Before leaving for China, he trained himself to trust God in secret. He lived on very little money, denied himself comfort, and learned to depend completely on God for provision.
When he finally arrived in China, his life became extremely difficult. He suffered sickness, loneliness, and great opposition. Many people mocked him because he dressed like the Chinese people and even wore their hairstyle so he could reach them better.
People criticized him, but Hudson Taylor said that if he was going to reach China, he had to become like the people he was trying to save.
One day, while praying on a beach in Brighton, England, he cried out to God because of the millions of souls in inland China who had never heard the name of Jesus. That day, God gave him the vision for what later became the China Inland Mission.
He trusted God for 24 missionaries to go into the unreached provinces of China. Humanly speaking, it was impossible. He had no money, no great supporters, and no guarantee.
But God answered.
Missionaries came. Churches were planted. Souls were saved. Villages that had never heard the gospel began to hear about Jesus Christ
By the time Hudson Taylor died, more than 800 missionaries had gone to China through the mission God gave him
Hudson Taylor proved that one man completely surrendered to God can change the destiny of a nation.
As he once said:
“God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.”
Let us pray:
“Lord, give us the kind of faith Hudson Taylor had. Help us to trust You even when we have little, obey You even when it is difficult, and stay faithful to the calling You have placed on our lives. In Jesus' name, Amen.”
