Hudson Taylor
I have seen that living in luxury is pointless and not only that but it can effect the way one lives for God. When you live with just the necessities, you show yourself that there is more to entertainment and comfort in life, that seeking material wealth all the time, Is a waste of time and the precious gift of life which God has bestowed upon us to live for His glory and not our own.

Hudson is an example to me, in that He showed an extreme amount of faith in forsaking all to follow the Lords plan and will for his life and those in China. Hudson depended on the Lord for everything. This teaches me to do the same. Hudson was a man of little wants or need for material possessions for comfort or pleasure. Hudson obeyed God in Gods plan for Hudson to go to China, this obedience brought protection and peace and joy from the Lord., in all situations. Hudson's faith was that of such strength that he depended on the Lord for food for the very next day and so on. Hudson was a man of self-control, not buying anything that he wanted but only what he needed. Hudson was faithful to God. His actions are a true model of the missionary of today and tomorrow.
