God gave Eric Liddell great athletic talent - enough talent to set a world recrod at the Paris Olympics in 1924. But God also gave Eric Liddell a great desire - a desire to lead the people of China to faith in Jesus Christ. From the running tracks of Europe to the dusty streets of China, Eric Liddell followed God's call to be a missionary. The sports world offered many temptations of fame and fortune, but this runner kept his focus on Jesus. Read on to meet Eric Liddell - Gold Medal Missionary!
