I have been reading about this great man, Hudson Taylor, for the past several weeks. Our Peter Hall library had a copy of a biography about him, called "Spiritual Secret of Hudson Taylor". I have found his life to be inspiring to me and actually very relevant, despite the fact that he lived in the 1800s and early 1900s. I feel like I can identify with him in many ways. I guess the most clear bond I can feel with him is a similar love for China. From soon after his conversion around the age of 17, he felt a strong desire to live and teach the gospel in China. When he finally got the chance to go there years later, he poured out his life for the people. And that is what I want to do. I plan on doing a series of posts on him, talking about different things about him that I connect with or inspire to be like.

Meu nome é Daniel André Costa, sou professor de escola dominical para jovens em Biguaçu - Santa Catarina - Brasil e por acaso encontrei este blog comentando algo sobre Hudson Taylor, porque este assunto é alvo da nossa lição: Confiança em D'us e Orações respondidas.
É um enorme prazer conversar com vocês irmãos em Cristo.
