Our coffee shop is named after Hudson Taylor.

Aged 21, Hudson took a trip from Liverpool to Shanghai to share the good news of Jesus. He arrived in 1854 when China was in the middle of a civil war.

He travelled around China sharing medical supplies and teaching about Jesus. He didn’t want to impose British culture on China; he wanted them to know that Christianity was for all cultures. Unlike most expats, he spoke Mandarin & dressed in Chinese clothes. He made special efforts to establish Chinese churches with Chinese leaders. He founded the China Inland Mission in 1865, an organisation that still exists today.

Hudson dedicated his whole life to China and was buried in 1905 in China. His motto was: “There is a living God who has spoken in the Bible. He means what He says and will do all He has promised.”

If you’d like to know more about Hudson Taylor or the Christian faith, please speak to any of our coffee shop volunteers.
