About this Episode
Hudson Taylor, one of the most influential missionaries to China, began life as a skeptic despite growing up in a Christian home. His journey to faith was deeply influenced by the prayers of his mother and sister, and a providential encounter with a Gospel tract that opened his eyes to the truth of Christ’s finished work on the cross. From that moment on, Taylor dedicated his life to spreading the gospel to unreached people in China.
His faith was often tested in remarkable ways. From living in the slums of London to prepare for the hardships of missionary life, to trusting God for every penny when his employer forgot to pay him, Taylor’s life exemplified a deep reliance on God's provision. Despite numerous personal and professional challenges, including the deaths of his wife and children, Taylor’s mission work flourished. He founded the China Inland Mission and paved the way for nearly 1,000 missionaries to bring the gospel to the unreached interior of China.
Hudson Taylor’s life was marked by humility, a steadfast commitment to God’s call, and an unwavering belief that God could use even the weakest vessels for His glory. This episode explores how Taylor’s deep trust in Christ’s finished work inspired a movement that transformed countless lives, including his own. Join us as we reflect on the lessons from his extraordinary life of faith and mission.
