Why would god want her to go to China?

Why not? One is capable of the seeming impossible with GOD. People who do not know GOD cannot possibly experience this. Besides, it seems no one else was willing to go... GOD wished to save those children and God trained this individual towards that end.

If god is so powerful that he can make a universe out of nothing, why does he need to send an old woman to do his work for him?

"...We are never to think of God's power in terms of what he could conceivably do by the exercise of what we may call sheer omnipotence which crushes all obstacles in its path. We are always to think of God's power in terms of his purpose. If what he did by sheer omnipotence defeated his purpose, then, however startling and impressive, it would be an expression of weakness, not of power. Indeed, a good definition of power is "ability to achieve purpose. This applies to the power of a gun, or a drug, or an argument, or even a sermon! Does it achieve its end? Does it fulfill its purpose?
We must realize that God's power is not put forward to get certain things done, but to get them done in a certain way, and with certain results in the lives of those who do them. We can see this clearly in human illustrations. My purpose in doing a crossword puzzle is not to fill in certain words. I could fill them in easily by waiting for tomorrow morning's paper. Filling them in without the answers is harder but much more satisfying, for it calls out resourcefulness, ingenuity, and discipline which by the easier way would find no self expression.

MLK was a bible thumping blow-hard who like to beat up White women. Get the fuck outta here with that shit.
Not exactly, taz, but I have confidence that if you keep trying you will get it one day.So god is like the fireman who lights his own fires to be a hero. Got it.Viewed in that light, even Taz 's childish arguments against God are being used by God to bring about good. Logically... before error or evil can be corrected, error and evil must first be allowed to exist.
