Which Christian missionaries were in Guangdong ?

[jing]

Hi,

I heard my Great-grandma was a Christian in the rural area of Kaiping (Hoiping), in Guangdong. She took a boat every Sunday to attend church. Does anyone know which missionaries / church were activity in that area?

I'd like to see if there a list of baptised Christians.

Thanks.

www.presbyterian.org.nz/archives/missions/index.htm The New Zealand Missionaries were in South China - The organization of the Punjab and Canton Villages/South China Mission fields fell under the oversight of regional Mission Councils comprising of most of the Missionaries on the Mission field with an elected President, Secretary, Treasurer and often sub - committees, such as an Education Committee, Medical Committee, Evangelistic Committee etc that reported back to the Mission Council. At all times the Mission Councils were responsible to the NZ Mission Committees.

Responsibility for the Canton Villages Mission area was largely devolved to the 'Kwantung Synod of the Church of Christ in China' in 1926 with the NZ Church still being responsible for staffing, financial support for its Missionaries, the Kong Chuen Hospital and annual grants to the Church of Christ in China. Our Mission staff left China in 1952 and our Mission was closed.
