A biography about Hudson Taylor, founder of China Inland Mission, is being translated into Chinese by Chinese Christians.  

The said missionary biography includes the worth-reading books, The Growth of A Soul- Hudson Taylor in Early and The Growth of A Work of God-Hudson Taylor and the China Inland Mission, both written by Dr. Frederick Howard Taylor and Mrs. Howard Taylor. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Taylor have writen many missionary biographies on the history of the China Inland Mission. Their books have inspired generations of missionaries.

Some chapters of the two books were once translated into Chinese by Dr. Hu Xuanming who was the first man to study in U.S. after "the Boxer Indemnity" in his hometown- Zhangzhou in around 1950.

This time the new translation begins from 2014 by Luke Translation Ministry Team, made up of more than ten volunteer Christians. Now the first draft is finished, to be modified. Brother Xin who initiates the translation shares that he has received a lot of grace and feels very grateful during the process.

“If I had a thousand pounds China should have it- if I had a thousand lives, China should have them. No! Not China, but Christ. Can we do too much for Him? Can we do enough for such a precious Saviour?”  ― James Hudson Taylor
