J. Hudson Taylor – Economize to Evangelize
In China, J. Hudson Taylor was a medical missionary and a pioneer. He lived to serve God and the Chinese and came down to their level to identify with their needs. This self-sacrifice of living in Chinese dwellings, eating Chinese food, wearing Chinese clothes as well as having a Chinese-style haircut and pigtail was outrageous for many European missionaries from different organisations who scoffed at the naïve lad in his early twenties.

Genuine Heaven-Sent Revival Versus the Counterfeit
Revival is a visitation of the Holy Spirit, a quickening, a bringing to life. It is God rending the Heavens and coming down, the hills melting like wax before His presence.

Understanding Christian Healing, George Jeffreys Healing Evangelist
The gifts of healing are amongst the nine miraculous gifts that are distributed to the Church by the Holy Spirit. The word healing suggests a gradual recovery, and many are restored in this way. Another among the nine gifts is the working of miracles, which suggests an immediate Divine interposition so that a person is instantly healed.
