Mission Moment


Gladys Aylward
(1902-1970)
Are you good at lots of things, or a few things, or do you feel just ordinary? Gladys Ayward was just ordinary. She was not very clever - just ordinary. She was not very rich - just ordinary. Her job wasn't special - just ordinary. She worked as a maid in a rich home, tidying and cleaning. But Gladys had an extraordinary friend - Jesus - and she wanted to go to China to tell people there all about him. But no one wanted her to go to China with them - they thought she was too ordinary - so Gladys went on her own.

With the help of her extraordinary friend Jesus, ordinary Gladys did some extraordinary things. She ran a hotel in the middle of nowhere and told Bible stories to the travellers. She worked for the government inspecting feet! While she checked their feet she told the people all about her friend Jesus. She stopped prisoners fighting in a prison. 

She looked after more than a hundred children who had no one else to love them.When war came to China she kept her children safe from danger by walking with them for days and days and days across the mountains to escape the fighting. Gladys had
some extraordinary adventures! Some people thought Gladys was too ordinary - but Jesus didn't. Jesus can help his
ordinary friends like you, me and Gladys to do extraordinary things for him.
