A Secret Hope tells how God directed her and a team of Filipino missionaries to the Manobo of Taguangu - that lair of crooks and ruffians. There they saw God do the impossible again and again.

"Has anyone ever told you about the prophecy handed down from our fathers?" Suklinyan asked.

"Our fathers told us that white teachers would come into our area and we were to listen and obey their teaching, and we would be able to recognize them because they would know our language."

A strange thrill went down my spine. I turned toward Russell and we looked at each other, speechless. We knew of no other outsider who could speak Tawbuid.

Leaving home and family, enduring separation from their children for long periods, Russell and Barbara Reed dedicated their entire lives to bringing the gospel to the Tawbuid in the Philippines. Buoyed by the prayers of partners back in the United States, reinforcement workers on the field and God’s powerful presence, they persevered to reach the goal.

How might God use you in creating another breakthrough among those who have yet to hear?

The five years that followed World War II were the most significant in the history of modern missions. They saw the door close on nearly one quarter of the world's population as China, the world's largest mission field, came under communist domination.

Mission work had often been dangerous in China, but for over a century Western misssionaries had freely entered China to preach all across its vast regions. But by the end of 1950 all that had changed. Most Protestant missions had already withdrawn. Now the largest mission in the world, the China Inland Mission, realized that open Christian witness in China had become impossible.

But did the decision come too late? This book tells the inspiring story of their exodus from China.

What frightened Mei most was that when her husband, Han, was angry, he exercised no restraint. With one hand, he would hold her hands behind her back and with the other, he would pound her, punching ruthlessly.

One day Han took Mei to a bar. ‘Stay and work here today. I’ll come back later and get you,’ he said. Mei worked as usual, serving drinks, but when one customer wanted more, she went straight to her manager. She hadn’t agreed to anything like that. But the manager was unrelenting. ‘You must do it!’ he ordered.

Fuming, Mei went to the phone and called her husband. His words were unbelievable. ‘Just stay there, and do what they tell you,’ said the man on the other end of the line. The man who, for a hefty sum, had sold his own wife into prostitution.

Mei, like many of Taiwan’s working class, was entangled in abuse, addiction and idol worship. Her life seemed hopeless, with no way out. Could anyone save her?

As Mei lay in bed, a cool breeze swept over her. There was no window or fan, but by now she was used to such strange occurrences. The breeze blew into her and she started to tremble. ‘

Go to the top of the house.’

At the sound of the voice, the spirits that usually surrounded Mei scattered. She shuffled to the roof.

‘Hold out your hands.’

Mei extended her arms, her body forming the shape of a cross. Two beams of light came down and touched her hands.

‘I am huo shen, the fire God,’ Mei thought she heard. Years would pass before she realised what had really been said – the difference lying in two typically insignificant Chinese characters -‘I am huo zhe de shen, the living God.’

"This booklet is a short reflection on the life and leadership of D E Hoste who succeeded Hudson Taylor as leader of China Inland Mission (now the Overseas Missionary Fellowship [OMF International]) and led this movement for over 30 years."

"The title comes from the fact that Hoste was determined that his name and reputation would be subsumed under the desire to see Jesus get all the honour for everything." (Quotes from an open letter by Ajith Fernando.)

"Much of the spiritual teaching one hears does not seem to work. But I found that the Cross of Jesus Christ worked. I felt like a man perishing of thirst, to whom some beautiful, clear cold water had begun to flow ... I had so much to learn! It seemed as if God was saying: 'You are crying to me to do a big work among the Lisu; I am wanting to do a big work in you yourself.'"

James Fraser was only 22 years old when he abandoned a promising engineering career and went to China. At first sight of the Lisu tribespeople of Yunnan province he felt an immediate affection for them. For the rest of his life, he traveled on horseback over rugged mountains, laboring to bring the Lisu the good news of Christ. Packed with personal letters, insightful anecdotes, and riveting stories of missionary life in China, this superb biography by his daughter shines with God's constant faithfulness and power over evil.
