In a difficult season it matters more to discover what God wants to say to me than to get out of it as fast as possible.

Hudson Taylor

Hudson Taylor war ein britischer Arzt und evangelikaler Missionar, der in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts über fünf Jahrzehnte lang in China wirkte. Er gründete die China-Inland-Mission, lebte das Prinzip der allein auf Gebet vertrauenden Glaubensmission vor und passte sich der chinesischen Kultur an, stand jedoch auch wegen der Gefährdung unerfahrener Mitarbeiter in der Kritik. Für heutige Bibelleser verkörpert er ein radikales Gottvertrauen, regt aber zugleich zum Nachdenken über Leitungsverantwortung und das Verhältnis von Glaube und Risiko an.
