Week of Missionary- Gladys Aylward
This week is a missionary week and our kids at RWC Sunday School learnt about- Gladys Aylward (1902-1970) who was a British Christian missionary who became famous for her work in China. She overcame numerous obstacles to fulfill her calling, including her own limited finances and a lack of formal missionary training. Aylward is best known for her courageous efforts to rescue and care for orphans during the tumultuous years of World War II and the Chinese Civil War. Her life story was later adapted into the popular movie “The Inn of the Sixth Happiness,” starring Ingrid Bergman. Gladys Aylward’s dedication to serving the people of China has left a lasting legacy in the world of Christian missions.
Our children found profound inspiration in the life of Gladys Aylward, who courageously navigated numerous challenges throughout her journey.
She dedicated herself to serving people in times of both peace and war, exemplifying God’s love and making His presence evident to those she encountered.”
