I love to read about heros of the faith who have given their lives tirelessly to the cause of the gospel, and Isobel Kuhn is no exception. Her mission was to give her heart, her love and her life to the Lisu people of the Yunnan province, and although her work was hard and relentless, it bore much fruit.

In China villages may cling to the ridges and shoulders of mountains above deep ravines, but there is a spiritual abyss which gapes wide beneath the lives of people all over the globe, in Brentwood as much as anywhere. If we truly care about the people we live amongst we need to take risks to ensure their lives are penetrated by truth. Our job is to point them to the cleft of the Rock, the redeeming and reclaiming power of the cross, ensuring that our community does not become another neglected frontier.

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground…” Isaiah 44:3
