Front Cover
Moody Publishers, Jun 1, 1970 - Biography & Autobiography - 160 pages

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.

GLADYS AYLWARD (1902-1970) is known as “The Little Woman” or “Virtuous One” who was a missionary to China for many years. At the beginning of her tenure, Gladys joined a seasoned missionary widow to run an inn where, in the evening, they would entertain their guests with stories from the Bible. Gladys also began taking children into her home, and soon she had an orphanage with about 100 children. She is author of her autobiography entitled Gladys Aylward: The Little Woman.
