A. B. Simpson: A. B. Simpson (1843-1919) was one of the most important Christian workers of his day. He was an ardent soul-winner and was active in raising up new believers and in training Christian workers. This sketch outlines some of the details of the life and work of this notable servant of the Lord.

 

 

 

Courage for Christ: The Life of C.T. Studd - C. T. Studd was among the most privileged young men of his day. Born into a wealthy British family and educated at England's best schools, he became famous in his own right as one of the greatest cricket players England had seen. Yet C. T. Studd forsook all-fortune, future, and fame-for the sake of Christ. As one of the "Cambridge Seven," he left his family and homeland to labor for Christ in China, in India, and later in Africa.

 

 

 

G. Campbell Morgan: G. Campbell Morgan’s writings have profound insight, are unique in utterance and are unparalleled in expression. He rarely quoted other Bible teachers, neither did he rely on light others received. Yet his Biblical expositions are so thought-provoking and inspiring that one cannot help but be left in awe of what this brother received from the Word.

 

 
   
James Hudson Taylor - J. Hudson Taylor arrived in China when there were only 350 Protestant believers. When he died there were over 175,000. When Taylor landed there were less than 80 missionaries in China, mostly on the coast. When he passed away there were 3,800 throughout that vast land. The largest group of workers was Taylor's "China Inland Mission". Hudson Taylor founded the first "faith mission," without denominational backing, which inspired numerous other "faith missions" to other gospel fields.
 
       

 

Jesse Penn-Lewis: "I saw that God had given me a specific commission to proclaim the message of the Cross, at a time when it had almost ceased to be referred to in the pulpits. I saw also that God miraculously opened doors before me to proclaim this message, which no man could shut."

 

 
   
Robert Chapman: Chapman is not well known. He did not author any monumental books. When he began to minister, friends said he would never make a good preacher. Yet Chapman became a living legend. John Nelson Darby said of him: "He lives what I teach."
 
       
   
To Taiwan with the Gospel - George Leslie Mackay - George Leslie Mackay was born on March 21, 1884 in Zorra township near Woodstock, Oxford county, 100 miles west of Toronto, Canada. As a young missionary he "felt some unseen influence directing his attention to Formosa [Taiwan]." From 1865 till his death in 1901 Mackay's preaching the gospel of Jesus was his labor of love.
 
       
   
William Law: "Thousands stand ready to split doctrinal hairs and instruct others in the fine meaning of Scripture words - but there are so few through whom the Holy Spirit can work to bring men to new birth in the kingdom of God."
