James Hudson Taylor (May 21, 1832 – June 3, 1905), was a British Protestant missionary to China, and founder of the China Inland Mission (CIM) (now OMF International). He served there for 51 years, bringing over 800 missionaries to the country who began 125 schools and directly resulting in 18,000 Christian conversions, as well as the establishment of more than 300 stations of work with more than 500 local helpers in all 18 provinces, before his death in China at age 73.
Taylor has been referred to as one of the most significant Europeans to visit China in the 19th Century. Historian R. Tucker summarizes his accomplishments:
"No other missionary in the nineteen centuries since the Apostle Paul has had a wider vision and has carried out a more systematized plan of evangelizing a broad geographical area than Hudson Taylor."
