Treasured Memories:Eric Liddell 1902 - 1945

During World War 11 Eric and many people who lived and worked in China were put into crowded prisoner of war camps. Sare this with your Sunday School, Kids Group and Bible Study.


In the camp the girls and boys taken from school lived with their teachers.
They knew that Eric was a very special teacher.
He was kind to old and young, especially to a sick lady who had to stay in the camp morgue because there was no other space.

In the camp were boys who did special work for God when they grew up
There was Jim, great-grandson of Hudson Taylor a famous
Missionary, Steve and David who wrote this information down.
Steve later worked in Japan with the Overseas Missionary Fellowship.

Steve’s most special memory is of Eric’s gift of his running shoes just three weeks before he died.
Though tied together with string and patched with tape, those shoes were a priceless possession.
