Sometimes you really amaze me. This one is a true gem. I want to read more of this church. What else you have on this Church? Please share!! How do you know the people who knew some involved.
That was 40 years ago when I was first in Taipei in the Navy and ran around with/knew some very old timer missionaries who’d been on the Mainland in that time period. I don’t remember our discussions about such, much.
Just that such narratives were quite real, accurate.
I knew James Vigna—Assembly of God missionary who was one of the last to make it out of Mainland China in the early 1950’s. He and his wife were quite old when I met them.
And I knew some of the Baptist missionaries, sons of Mainland China missionaries of an earlier era.
And, I taught & lived next to—in Mainland China with a MaryKnoll Sister who was in Mainland China before they were kicked out by the Beijing Marxist government—sometime before James Vigna left.
And, I knew someone who was a missionary in the same city as Watchman Nee and knew him.
PRECIOUS PRECIOUS FOLKS—HIGHLY ADMIRABLE. Loved God enormously . . . and the Chinese people about as enormously—as did and do I.
Sorry I don’t have any more details to share.
