South Fukien Mission (1920-1951)

Abstract

The South Fukien (today’s Fujian) Mission 闽南区会 was located where the original Fukien (Fujian) Mission began in 1917. When the division of the Fukien Mission took place in 1920, the southern portion was named the Amoy (later Xiamen) Mission, 廈門区会 even though the headquarters were not in Amoy city. In 1922 the entity was renamed the South Fukien Mission, a subdivision of the South China Union Mission. Its headquarters were on the small island of Kulangsu (Gulangyu) 鼓浪屿 where many Europeans had settled, including the Seventh-day Adventist missionaries when they first entered the area
