God speaks to Eric Liddell - the Flying Scotsman

Eric was the athlete who refused to run on a Sunday in the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris but who later won the gold medal and created a world record in the 400 metres.

Even though he was a science teacher and could have travelled the world and lived comfortably Eric decided to be a missionary for God in China.

People from his church in Scotland supported and prayed for him.

For a few years Eric taught science at a college in Tientsin and then he decided to tell the people about Jesus.
He travelled many miles in rugged conditions; sometime on a bicycle and sometimes walking.
