Abstract

The Fukien 福建 (or Fujian) Province of China was entered by Seventh-day Adventist missionaries in 1905. Winferd Hankins (漢謹思) and his wife settled on the tiny island of Kulangsu 鼓浪屿 (Gulangyu), which was adjacent to Amoy 廈門 (Xiamen). Kulangsu was populated with many Europeans. A Chinese Seventh-day Adventist, N. P. Keh (Guo, Ziying 郭子颖), and his family were also living on the island. He proved to be a stalwart in advancing the cause of the mission, first as an interpreter and later as a leading evangelist. On October 13, 1906, the Kulangsu church was organized with a baptized membership of 17 adults.
