    "description": "Gladys Aylward (1902 - 1970)\r\nListen to freely downloadable audio sermons by the speaker Gladys Aylward in mp3 format. Was a British evangelical Christian missionary to China whose story was told in the book The Small Woman by Alan Burgess, published in 1957. In 1958, the story was made into the Hollywood film The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, starring Ingrid Bergman.\r\nAfter 20 years in China, Gladys returned to England in 1940. She was embarrassed to find that she quickly became a celebrity. A book, movie and TV documentary were all made about her life. To many Gladys became known by many as \"The Small Women,\" the title of her biography. She continued to travel and speak about her beloved China, returning to Taiwan in 1957. Humble in spirit, Gladys once made this comment to a friend, \"I wasn't God's first choice for what I've done for China. There was somebody else. I don't know who it was --- God's first choice. It must have been a man --- a wonderful man, a well-educated man. I don't know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn't willing. And God looked down and saw Gladys Aylward.\"",

After China fell to the communists, the Lord led her to the islands of Hong Kong and Taiwan, where the love He put in her heart for the Chinese and lost children continued until her death in 1970. Through her stories, she encourages all believers to completely give their entire beings to God and see what He can do with such a life entrusted to Him.",
