A
fellow missionary had said, “When you get to China, all the scum of
your nature will rise to the top.” It surely had, mused Belle. The food,
the fleas, the filth, the exhausting mountain paths, and so many other
transitions to missionary life had tested her. But Belle had stayed at
her post, and she was so glad that she had.
As a fourteen-year-old
intent on living a “modern” life, the last thing Isobel Kuhn wanted to
grow up to be was a missionary. But as it turned out, this young
agnostic’s life was redirected—from crisis and doubt to hope and
strength.
Convinced that God
wanted her to preach the gospel as a China Inland missionary, Isobel
bravely served among the Lisu people in remote mountainous regions of
China and Thailand. After twenty years of ministry Isobel returned to
the United States, writing stirring stories of faith and inspiring
generations of readers. (1901–1957)
