Rosalind Goforth determined to go to church, going back on an earlier decision not to go due to her embarrassment in her old clothing. She stumbles on this scripture: "Why take ye thought for raiment . . . seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you." The very next day, a box with a new dress and other gifts arrived for her.

Confused as to whether to travel to England and become an artist to China as a missionary, Rosalind went to God in prayer. As she prayed, she was led to a passage of scripture which set her confusion to rest. God made her path to the missions field clear.

Rosalind Goforth was inspired by Hudson Taylor's stories of trusting only in God for his needs. She decided to trust God to provide $50 so she could marry debt free. Rosalind resisted all temptations to speak to anyone about her need even as the wedding approached. At the last moment, on the eve of her wedding, God provided the precise amount.

The missionaries at Honan were eager to reach and care for the Chinese people. The locals harbored a deep distrust and resentment for foreigners and the missionaries feared for their lives if they did not win them over quickly. They had a highly skilled doctor with them, yet no one came to them for medical help. The missionaries went to God in prayer and were provided with patients in critical condition. God guided the doctor's hands and the healed patients served as living testimony to the community.

Wang Feng-ao was a proud, overbearing Confucian who despised Christianity so much so that he beat his wife each time she listened to or visited missionaries.

Encouraged by the testimony of Rev. Hunter Corbett, Rosalind Goforth vowed to remain in China to serve God notwithstanding the illness she battled. In making the decision to remain in China, she left her life entirely in Gods hands. Just like Rev. Corbin, from the day of that choice, Rosalind struggled little with the disease.

The Goforths need for someone to help preach to the crowds was met when, two days after asking God to provide, an ex opium addict arrived at their doorstep.

The Goforth's eighteen month old son was sick with dysentery, near to death. After deep struggle, Rosalind joined her husband in surrendering their sick child to God. Even as they prayed, their son began to recover from the disease and, by the following morning, was healed.

Li-ming refused to worship the locust god with his neighbors to protect his grain. He said that the protection of his field would be proof that his God was the one true God. The locusts came and destroyed his neighbors' grain. Li-ming's grain was untouched.

The Goforth's oldest child came down with pneumonia after disobeying his mother and stepping out into the damp, cold air on the houseboat. His case was so severe that the doctor didn't think the boy will live through the night. Mrs. Goforth asked her son to commit himself to Jesus and ask for forgiveness for his disobedience. By the time the doctor returned again, the child had recovered.

With no hope left that a doctor could save her child, a poor woman and her husband decided to heed Jonathan Goforth's advice to trust God for their baby's healing. They committed the sick child into God's hands and believed the child would be well. The next time they took the child to the doctor, the child was perfectly well.

Surrounded by a mob and faced with the probability of death and torture, Rosalind Goforth became overcome with the fear for herself and her companions.

Rosalind felt the presence of God with them and was filled with peace.

Having lost all they had and barely escaped with their lives, the Goforths found refuge in a community of Muslims as they fled the 1900 Boxer Rebellion. God plucked them from the middle of a violent mob and their wounds were treated and they were fed and sheltered by these Muslims.

Faced with a letter from their home church with news of a lack of funds and the need for a downsizing of operations, the Goforths decided to continue with their work as planned, trusting that God would provide what they needed. Over the next few weeks, letters with money came from people all around the world meeting their needs exactly.

Having given her all for God, surrendering all her time and desires, Rosalind stepped fully into the life of trusting for everything and enjoying God's supernatural and timely provision - her family's needs were all met, sometimes even before they were known to Rosalind. Everything from fresh apples when they were in season to dried and canned fruits for the winter.

The Lord honours Rosalind Goforth's request to have her son's gift used for his country's good but also that he be kept away from trench warfare during the Great War. God answers, intervening at every time when the son would have been deployed and keeping him off the front lines.
