EVANGELICAL WOMEN IN THE SECOND HALF OF 1800; TSAI SU JUAN (CHRISTIANA) P/98

 

In this post I will continue to share the story of Tsai Su Juan or Christina Tsai. She lived from 1890 - 1984. Great suffering awaited Christina, while the Japanese occupied China during WWII, imprisoning many missionaries, including the principal of her school. In weakness, she crawled about on the floor, surviving on meager portions of bread and fermented, salted vegetables. However, she continued to share the gospel and together with Miss Leaman their preaching led many to believe in the Lord.

 After the war, Mary Leaman returned to the United States in 1949, and took Christiana to live with her in Pennsylvania. From there she wrote her autobiography, "Queen of the Dark Chamber," which was later translated into 50 languages.

Christiana also wrote devotionals on the power of prayer, with her writings challenging and inspiring many to live for Christ and to serve Him with deep devotion.

She wrote: "My bed is not a prison, but a training school; the Holy Spirit is my Mentor, and my visitors are my homework." 

Christina died in 1984.
