Description
Read the true story of Gladys Aylward, who overcame many obstacles to be a missionary in China.
After some initial setbacks, Gladys was given an opportunity to go to China. But the setbacks didn't end there! Having worked day and night to earn enough money to travel to China, her train only got as far as Siberia. Gladys then had to sneak onto a ship, take another boat, another train, a bus, and lastly a donkey!
When she eventually arrived in China, the villagers were deeply suspicious and threw mud at her! But, with time, Gladys earned the trust of those around her and told them all about Jesus.
This beautifully illustrated children's biography of Gladys Aylward (1902-1970) is part of a series designed to show kids that God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things.
