He closely identified himself with the Chinese in their way of life. However, he had to return to England in 1860 due to poor health. There the concern for the Chinese people motivated him to establish the ‘China Inland Mission.’ The mission was founded to take the Gospel to all the provinces of China. Along with his family, he again set sail for China in 1865 and continued to labor for the next 39 years in China.
He always relied on God to supply all his needs. Despite the sufferings of a war-torn country, the loss of his family members, the persecution, and ill health, he continued to serve Christ. Nothing could stop him from traveling to other countries to make China’s needs known and recruit missionaries.
He preached in several Chinese dialects and is regarded as the ‘Father of Chinese Christian Movement.’ His passion and zeal for Christ and love for the Chinese are reflected in his own words, “If only I had had 100 lives, I would have lived them all for the people of China.” He finished his earthly race in 1905 and went to be with the Lord.
