An Olympic gold medal was his prize for winning the 400-meter dash, but Eric Liddell was more concerned about another, more important run: the long distance race of the Christian life. God gave Eric Liddell great athletic talent-enough talent to set a world record at the Paris Olympics in 1924. But God also gave Liddell a great desire-to lead the people of China to faith in Jesus Christ. From the running tracks of Europe to the dusty streets of China, Liddell followed God's call to be a missionary.
