Reading about Hudson Taylor yesterday and I was struck by the directness of his prayer. CIM needed new missionaries he prayed read the Bible and felt compelled to call people to pray for 70 new missionaries to leave everything and go to inland China. He prayed and called others to pray with him and then prepared for the 70 that God would call in faith.
I wonder how such a prayer would be treated today? Would we think it a bit naive? Would we suggest to him to wait for God to answer before he started preparing for their outfitting?
Reading of Hudson Taylor is a humbling experience. I have much to learn of his faith, his prayer life, giving everything up for the gospel and his passion for the lost.
