  • Hudson Taylor's Spiritual Secret
    Hudson Taylor’s Spiritual Secret FOREWORD This record has been prepared especially for readers unfamiliar with the details of Mr. Hudson Taylor's life. Those who have read the larger biography by the present writers, or Mr. Marshall Broomhall's more recent presentation, will find little that is new in these pages. But there are many, in the western world especially, who have hardly heard of Hudson Taylor, who have little time for reading and might turn away from a book in two volumes, yet who need and long for just the inward joy and power that Hudson Taylor found. The desire of the writers is to make available to busy people the experiences of their beloved father—thankful for the blessing brought to their own lives by what he was, and what he found in God, no less than by his fruitful labors. Howard and Geraldine Taylor Philadelphia, May 21, 1932 Men are God's method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use—men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men—men of prayer . The training of the Twelve was the great, difficult and enduring work of Christ. It is not great talents or great learning or great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God—men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it.

  • The Historical Context
    CHAPTER ONE THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT Introduction The Historically Documented Context of the Informants' Stories The China Inland Mission (CIM) The China Inland Mission Schools Chefoo 1931 - 1940 CIM January, 1940 - July, 1940 CIM October, 1940 - December, 1941 Chefoo 1941 - 1942 Evacuation of Chefoo Formation of Weihsien Internment Camp Education at Weihsien Chefoo Transfer Repatriation and Internment Chefoo in Weihsien Seasons of trials Liberation Day Issues of Personal Reality and Official History Summary THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT Introduction This chapter describes the setting in which the stories of the informants' lives took place. The historical context for this study is North China during the Second World War. It was at this time that the China Inland Mission Schools (Chefoo), a British school for children of Western missionaries and other expatriates, came under Japanese-occupation, and was eventually relocated to a civilian assembly center. (1) These actions of occupation and internment were the external threats to the school's continuity. The war and its outcome meant the end of the British colonial lifestyle in which this school had been established and had existed for sixty-two years. Subtle yet even more damaging threats came from within the internment camp as the once secluded school was suddenly thrust into close contact with people of various backgrounds and beliefs. The purpose of this study will be to analyze how teachers and students responded to these challenges in order to convey and maintain the ethos of their school and culture. 1 Through the use of primary and secondary sources, a panorama of the events that affected their youth is presented.

  • Three Missionary Profiles the Life of Lottie Moon
    http://home.snu.edu/~hculbert/ Here’s a “readers’ theatre” look at some missionaries. It can be used in a classroom with or without practice. All you need are some good readers. Three Missionary Profiles These brief plays profile the lives of Lottie Moon, C.T. Studd and the Hudson Taylors. It was originally performed as a single play in three acts. However, it can easily be broken up and performed or read as three separate one-act plays. These portrayals show these missionaries as real people with warts and frailties. It is hoped that people, on seeing these performances, will realize that one need not be a saint to go into global missions work. This play may be performed without charge by any school, church or religious group, provided no more than 5% of its original content is changed. Copyright © 1996 David Prata The Life of Lottie Moon Written by David Prata ANNOUNCER: (offstage) Lottie Moon was born in 1840 in Virginia where she grew up on her family's tobacco plantation. Some have said that a divine calling, an adventuresome spirit and a feminist impulse were the main factors in the nineteenth century that created a surge of single women into world missions. Indeed, those three things -- a sense of calling, adventuresome spirit and a feminist impluse -- were what thrust Lottie Moon into a fruitful life of missionary service. LOTTIE: (Entering from stage left, looking up for the voice of the announcer) Excuse me, but you are leaving a few things out. ANNOUNCER: And who, madam might you be? LOTTIE: I might be your great aunt Minnie, but as it happens, I am Lottie Moon, and I will tell this story myself if you don't mind, sir.

  • Lives Worth Imitating – Hudson Taylor September 1, 2019
    Lives Worth Imitating – Hudson Taylor September 1, 2019 This morning I want to explore the life of one Hudson Taylor. Most people I have mentioned his name to this past week have never heard of him. Hopefully you won’t be able to say that again after today. Hudson Taylor and the word, China, should always go hand in hand. His mother and father were fascinated with China, although they lived in England. When Hudson’s mother became pregnant, his parents prayed that God would raise him up to be a missionary to the Chinese. And when Hudson was only 4 years old he declared his intent to grow up and do just that. • Hudson Taylor was born on May 21, 1832 to James and Amelia Taylor who were devout Methodists. His father was a chemist and a local Methodist preacher. • Hudson was sold out to God at age 17. (But it came in a dramatic and creative way) When Hudson was 15 years old he started working as a junior clerk at one of the local banks. The fellow employees were quite worldly in their lifestyles and ridiculed Taylor’s views on God, which led him to question his conservative Christian upbringing. Over time, he adopted their perspective and concluded that he could live his life anyway he wanted, because there was no God to whom he must answer. Shortly after that he developed an eye infection which forced him to quit working at the bank and go to work for his father. His father became quite irritated by Taylor’s moodiness, but his mother looked deeper and was concerned with his spiritual condition and began praying for him to return to the Lord.

TO HOWARD AND GERALDINE TAYLOR BY THEIR COUSIN AND DEBTOR Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee. Psalm lxxxiv. 5. FOREWORD IN the years 19n and 1918, respectively, the two volumes, Hudson Taylor in Early Years, and Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, were published. Both were written by Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, and both have had a remarkable circulation. Up to the time of writing nearly 50,000 volumes have been sold, and many are the tokens that these books have brought much blessing to the readers. But these two volumes together aggregate nearly 1200 closely printed demy octavo pages, and it has been long evident that a shorter Life, in one small volume, was needed. More than one publishing house has con­ templated the issue of such a biography, and several of these have kindly relinquished the idea of issuing the same, that the book might be published by the China Inland Mission itself. Grateful acknowledgement of this courtesy is hereby made. It had been hoped that Dr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor, the authors of the authoritative work mentioned above, might have undertaken this smaller volume also; but that was not found possible. The one to whom this task eventually fell desires to make full acknowledgement of vii viii THE MAN WHO BELIEVED GOD the immeasurable help obtained from the larger Life.
