Hudson Taylor: Living Water

by Rod Thomson

Founder of the China Inland Mission (now OMF International), Hudson Taylor spent 51 years bringing the light of the gospel to inland China. During his time there, Taylor was challenged by sickness, danger, loneliness, scorn, and demonic oppression. Yet he was also blessed. God provided many coworkers (and even a wife!) in response to Taylor’s prayers, and within 30 years OMF had grown to 1,500 missionaries.

Because of Taylor’s obedience, thousands of Chinese people have been able to taste and see the life-changing power of the Spirit’s living water. Read and be inspired by the faith of a man who listened to the Lord and who boldly went where God told him to go.

“Only God is great, and we should trust Him fully.” -Hudson Taylor
