    About this audiobook

    A solitary woman. A foreign country. An unknown language. An impossible dream? No.

    With no mission board to support or guide her, and less than ten dollars in her pocket, Gladys Aylward left her home in England to answer God's call to take the message of the gospel to China. With the Sino-Japanese War waging around her, she struggled to bring the basics of life and the fullness of God to orphaned children. Time after time, God triumphed over impossible situations, and drew people to Himself. In Gladys Aylward: My Missionary Life in China, Gladys tells her story—a remarkable tale of one woman's determination to serve God at any cost.

    A true story of a determined missionary, Gladys Aylward: My Missionary Life in China will challenge you to bold and expectant faith.

      Saved From hell

      May 23, 2024

      Climbing into the back seat of the van, I hugged the desperate woman inside – her little girl, too. ‘Don’t worry. You’re safe now,’ I soothed. She didn’t speak English, but crumpled into my arms, in tears. I noticed how her daughter was underweight.

      Be inspired! I’ve returned to this book many times through my life. It is a powerful story of an English housemaid who bought a one way ticket to China on the Trans-Siberian Railway before the Second World War. Not well-enough educated to do well at missionary training, Gladys saved her own fare, and took the perilous journey with $10 in her pocket—to meet a 70 year old missionary praying for a young helper. Friends with rulers and generals, Gladys Aylward fearlessly preached the gospel in villages and in prisons, to lamasary monks and to soldiers—to whomever God brought her, and wherever He sent her. God answered her prayers of loneliness with abandoned children whom she legally adopted, as she had become a Chinese citizen. Her story is riveting, and a great encouragement to listen to God—and follow.
