These sources broadly explore the lives and experiences of individuals who have dedicated themselves to Christian service, particularly in challenging circumstances. One source provides a brief excerpt of a personal narrative about being taken captive and relying on faith during a period of hardship. Another source offers a detailed look at China, including its geography, culture, history, and the experiences of Christians living under a communist government, highlighting their resilience and efforts to spread their faith despite persecution and restrictions on religious freedom. The final sources focus on the biography of Gladys Aylward, a British missionary in China, discussing her work with orphans, prison reform, and evangelism, and contrasting the reality of her life with its portrayal in a Hollywood film, while also touching on the role of women in Christian ministry throughout history and the present day.Sources:(Un)remarkable Volume 2 - Excerpt - Pure Freedom Ministries6 Lessons from Gladys Aylward About Gospel SuccessBold Believers - Hope Church AugustaGladys Aylward, the little woman, and China's Inn of The Sixth Happiness - David AltonHSS - Gladys Aylward {Whatcha' Need?} - Shari HouseMissionary Mindset: Gladys Aylward - East West MinistriesReflecting Christ: humility in world missions - Southern Nazarene UniversityThe Supporting Cast: Gladys Aylward and Women in Gospel Service - Wisdom InternationalWho Was Gladys Aylward? - Ways to Learn at Ligonier.org
