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
