We named our coffee shop after someone called Hudson Taylor.

At just 21, Hudson Taylor decided to make a trip from the Liverpool docks to Shanghai with one purpose: to share the good news about Jesus with the people of China. Hudson arrived in 1854 when China was in the middle of a civil war.

He travelled around China sharing medical supplies and teaching about Jesus. Unlike other expats, he spoke Mandarin, dressed in Chinese clothes, and grew a pigtail. He did not want to impose British culture on the people of China, but wanted them to know that Christianity was for all cultures. Hudson made special efforts to establish Chinese churches with Chinese leaders. With this goal in mind, 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 on Chinese soil. 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.

Two men are sitting at a small round table in a cozy cafe, engaging in conversation. One man, wearing glasses and a sweater, is holding a cup and smiling, while the other, wearing a cap and glasses, is resting his hands on the table. There are two cups and a saucer on the table. In the background, a woman with red hair is sitting on a purple booth, looking at her phone. The cafe has large windows, a vase with yellow flowers on the window sill, and a pink sign on the wall.
