Description
Gladys Aylward: No Mountain too High
Trail Blazer Series
By: Myrna Grant
Gladys’ life had plenty of adventure, loads of mystery and almost too much excitement! There aren’t many missionaries who have had a film made about them!* There aren’t many missionaries who have been spies! There aren’t many missionaries who rescued 100 children from a battle zone. But Gladys did all three.
Many looked on Gladys Aylward’s expedition to mainland China as foolhardy and dangerous. It was. On her own, as a single female she carried her passport and other documents along with the only money and belongings that she in a small briefcase with a teapot and a saucepan tied to the handle.
After having purchased her one-way ticket to China she left the United Kingdom with a single-minded determination to do what God had commanded her to. She knew she was meant to go to China Ð even if no mission was prepared to support her.
Unconventional is the only way to describe this journey to the country that would eventually become her home. A theme that would continue throughout her mission work in China where she thwarted authorities became involved in the Chinese resistance and rescued over 100 children from the invading Japanese army.
