Gladys Aylward

A friend told me to read the biography of Gladys Aylward, that  I would relate to parts of her story.  She was one phenomenal lady.  She was told that she would not make a good missionary and that the missionary board would not take a risk on her - too many risk factors that she would fail.  So, convinced that she was doing what God called her to do, she set out to find a way to be obedient.  Once she reached the mission field she was determined, creative, and most of all - stayed intimately connected to her Savior.

Looking for a good book to read while the snow melts - find a copy of one of the many versions of her biography or get the movie to watch and be inspired to serve the Lord in a whole new way!
