One of the most well known names in the history of missions passed away today.
James Hudson Taylor III [Aug 12, 1929 - Mar 20, 2009]
Two days ago in a Hong Kong hospital, Jamie Taylor (James Hudson Taylor IV) shared his dad’s last words to him, ”live to make a difference for Jesus.” What an incredible family legacy now spanning five generations of humble service to the Chinese for Jesus Christ. Through James Husdon Taylor V whose mother is Chinese (”Mimi” Yeh-Min Ke), it is said, “Chinese blood is now immersed in the Taylor’s next generation as they are growing up around us.” (Christ Alone: A Pictorial Presentation of Hudson Taylor’s Life and Legacy)The work of Hudson Taylor continues through OMF International

1My cousin was a year younger than I and I first remember praying for him when he and his siblings were interred during WWII. Our last visit with he and Leone was in Hong Kong and Singapore in 1995 when they entertained us royally. We look forward to seeing him again in heaven. Our prayers continue for Leone and the children and grandchildren who have a large void in their lives if only temporary.

2Thanks Jeannie for dropping by and leaving a comment. The Chinese church network joins the Taylors in their loss and hope. Prayers abound. Hope to connect with you further in the near future.

4Yes, praise God for the Taylor’s. Thanks, and may the legacy continues.
God willing, I am leading a small group study on the legacy of the Taylor’s next Saturday. I look forward to be inspired.
