Have you ever wondered what's prayer all about? It's not about the position of your hands, repetition of words, etc. Let's find out together what Jesus said about it. It's basic yet essential that we understand about so we can connect better to Him.

34. “China is not to be won for
Christ by quiet, ease-loving
men and women. The stamp
of men and women we
need is such as will put
Jesus, China and souls
first and foremost in
everything and at every time;
even life itself must be secondary.”

35. In September 1853,
a little three-masted
clipper slipped quietly
out of Liverpool harbor
with Hudson Taylor,
a gaunt and wild-eyed
21-year-old missionary,
aboard.

36. He was headed for a country
that was just coming into the
Christian West’s consciousness;
only a few dozen missionaries
were stationed there.

Taylor was born to James and
Amelia Taylor, a Methodist couple
fascinated with the Far East
who had prayed for their
newborn, “Grant that
he may work for
you in China.”

Years later, a teenage Hudson
experienced a spiritual birth
during an intense time of prayer
as he lay stretched, as he
later put, “before Him
with unspeakable awe
and unspeakable joy.”

He spent the next years in
frantic preparation, learning
the rudiments of medicine,
studying Mandarin, and
immersing himself ever
deeper into the Bible
and prayer.

His ship arrived in Shanghai,
one of five “treaty ports” China
had opened to foreigners
following its first Opium
War with England.

Almost immediately Taylor made a
radical decision (as least for missionaries
of the day): he decided to
dress in Chinese clothes
and grow a pigtail. His
fellow Protestants were
either incredulous
or critical.

Taylor, for his part, was not happy
with most missionaries he saw:
he believed they were
“worldly” and spent too
much time with English
businessmen and
diplomats who needed
their services as
translators.

Instead, Taylor wanted the Christian
faith taken to the interior of China.
So within months of
arriving, and the native
language still a challenge,
Taylor along with J.
Edkins, set off for the
interior, down the
Huangpu River
distributing Chinese
Bibles and tracts.

44. When the famous
missionary Hudson Taylor,
first went to China, very
close to the shore of
cannibal islands the ship
was becalmed, and it was
slowly drifting shoreward
unable to go about and
the savages were eagerly
anticipating a feast.

45. The captain came to Mr.
Taylor and besought
him to pray for the help
of God. “I will,” said Mr.
Taylor, “provided you set
your sails to catch the
breeze.”

46. The captain declined to
make himself a laughing
stock by unfurling in a
dead calm. Taylor said,
“I will not undertake
to pray for the vessel
unless you will
prepare the sails.”
And it was done.

47. While engaged in prayer,
there was a knock at the
door of his stateroom.
“Who is there?” asked
Taylor. The captain’s
voice responded, “Are
you still praying for
wind?” “Yes.”

48. “Well, said the captain,
you’d better stop praying,
for we have more wind
than we can manage.”
