Christian Heroes of Yesterday and Today: Lottie Moon (Perseverance and Sacrifice)

The Christian Heroes: Then & Now series narrates the true stories of men and women whose trust in God allowed them to accomplish extraordinary feats for His kingdom and glory.

In a turn of events that only God could have foreseen, this spirited young woman, educated to be the most learned woman in the entire South of the United States, ended up finding her calling as a missionary in China. As she watched her fellow missionaries succumb to illness, exhaustion, nervous breakdowns, or even death, she dedicated herself to warning Christians about the preventable tragedies that often plagued missionaries' lives, doing so with the same passion with which she educated the Chinese people about the realities of Christian life.

The life of sacrificial service of the unforgettable Lottie Moon has inspired countless people to give their all for a dream (1840-1912).
