About the Book

Although the activities of foreign missionaries occupy a very important place in the growth and history of Christianity, it was the local evangelists who carried forward the legacy of the missionaries. When we look deeper into the details of how Christianity was widely spread out, it has many stories of the efforts and contributions of the native evangelists folded within the stories of the great foreign missionaries. One will be impressed and challenged by the great principles of evangelism adopted by the local evangelists in the region even without being facilitated by the missionaries demonstrating great love towards their own people and beyond, reaching the unreached. The untold sufferings, selfless sacrifices, constant tears and prayers and an unreserved commitment to their faith are the living challenges. This book is an attempt to re-discover the pioneering works of the local evangelists and the significant roles played during the formative years of the Zeliang churches whose contributions have magnanimously manifested a new society with an enlightened mind and a faith deeply rooted in Christ beckoning every individual to revive in embracing Christ and His teachings.
