Gladys Aylward

One of the most effective missionaries of the twentieth century was Gladys Aylward. Born in London in 1902, she did poorly in school and took a job as a maid when she was 14. But in her twenties, Gladys received Jesus as her Savior, and everything changed.

Convinced that God was calling her to serve Him in China, she overcame huge obstacles to make her way overland to that distant country.

After learning the difficult Chinese language, Gladys shared the Good News of Jesus with thousands of people. She became an honored citizen of China. Books were written about her. A movie was made.

The life of Gladys Aylward was extraordinary because she listened to God’s call and obeyed, and with His power, succeeded against all odds.

If we go forward in obedience to God’s call on our heart, we will see Him do amazing things in us and through us.
