Grace and Glory: A Case Study of OMF in Taiwan Since 1951 / 恩典與榮耀:中華基督教內地會(海外基督使團OMF)來台六十年研究

碩士 / 中原大學 / 宗教研究所 / 101 / "China Inland Mission" (CIM) had been established from Hudson Taylor (James Hudson Taylor, 1832-1905) for one hundred and forty eight years since1865. And OMF missionaries (The CIM afterwards transfer name as OMF in 1965, located in Singapore) came to Taiwan here will be over sixty years after Chinese Civil War in 1950, while these missionaries here give great assistance to Taiwan charities and evangelized gospel to Taiwanese. We could see they have great faith in God and devoted themselves completely. Those who witness God’s grace and glory are these missionaries here.

After Chinese Civil War in 1951, All Missionaries had to withdraw China field and meanwhile OMF international headquarter had to review many challenges as the changeable circumstance, to vary their vision and mission. At this time, some missionaries leave OMF and start to back their home country, some choose to go other countries continue their preaching in East Asia, and some based on Taiwan as their mission field. This thesis will put emphasis on OMF missionaries in Taiwan for what they have done from 1950-2013.

At this point , I insist on trying to keep tracks of all their contributions toward to Taiwanese as a record. And I found Taiwan’s Christians had been transferred into much mature followed by years. And now OMF Taiwan home could start to send out missionaries to other countries for mission. Taiwan is not only need missionaries here, but could sending missionaries out. We do appreciate much for those missionaries here do a lot of God’s Work to witness his Glory and lead Taiwanese to go ahead of understanding the wills of God.
