Cloud of Witnesses: Eric Liddell

Eric Liddell was a Scottish athlete and Christian missionary, best known for winning the gold medal in the 400 meters at the 1924 Olympics. He refused to compete on Sundays, due to his religious beliefs, and instead competed in the 200 meters on a different day. Liddell's story was portrayed in the 1981 film "Chariots of Fire." After the Olympics, Liddell became a missionary in China, where he served until his death in a Japanese internment camp during World War II. Liddell is remembered for his strong faith and dedication to serving others.
