Minister pays tribute to Australian missionaries in China
A pioneering Chinese Seventh-day Adventist minister has acknowledged during a lecture at Avondale the contribution of the first Australian missionaries to the country. Pr Rebekah Liu (left), senior minister of the Chengdu Seventh-day Adventist Church in Sichuan, spoke of the debt the 400,000 Adventists in China owe to missionaries such as Pr Francis and Eva Allum. The couple served in China for 16 years while raising six children. Granddaughter Jan Hardes (right) met Rebekah following her “God’s grace at the Great Wall: women and church leadership in China” lecture in Ladies Chapel, one in a series of presentations at Avondale, Pacific Adventist University (Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea) and the church in southern Queensland’s annual camp meeting.
