When God Calls the Unqualified
A young British woman with barely any education stood before a prestigious missionary society, hoping they'd send her to China. They rejected her outright-no qualifications, too old at twenty-eight, unlikely to master Chinese. Most people would have accepted defeat. But Gladys Aylward wasn't most people. With ninepence in her pocket (roughly the cost of a cheap sandwich today), she bought a one-way train ticket across Europe, through war-torn Russia, into the unknown. What possesses someone to risk everything on what seems like foolishness? Her story reveals a truth we've forgotten: the most unlikely people often accomplish the most extraordinary things when they stop waiting for permission and start moving forward in faith. Gladys wasn't seeking adventure or fame. She'd wanted to be an actress, working as a parlormaid while taking evening drama classes. After a profound spiritual awakening, she felt an unmistakable pull toward China's millions who'd never heard of Christ. When every door slammed shut, she remembered Abraham and Moses-ordinary people called to impossible tasks. She saved every penny from her parlormaid wages until she had enough for the railway fare. On October 15, 1932, she left everything familiar behind, carrying only her Bible, a devotional book, and a faith that seemed absurd to everyone watching.
