He radically changed the way missionaries lived incarnational and worked with people. Pioneering an example that continues to inspire. Much of the the explosive growth in the modern church of China can be traced back to the trail he blazed.

James Hudson Taylor (21 May 1832 – 3 June 1905), spent 51 years preaching and teaching in China. While other missionaries brought a gospel inextricable from Western culture, James adopted Chinese culture, wearing local clothing hairstyles and loving the food, becoming fluent in several Chinese dialects.  Believing God wanted to get the gospel to all eighteen provinces of China he started the China Inland Mission in 1865. Under his leadership more than 800 missionaries left for China starting 300 missions stations in all eighteen provinces and beginning 125 schools and resulting in over 18,000 Chinese conversions.
