Foundations: how the CIM got to the Upper Mekong region First period: 1865-1895 The Upper Mekong region at last J. O. Fraser, the Lisu, and the CIM The 1940s and the Houghton era.

Summary: This book describes how members of the China Island Mission engaged the tribes of Southwest China as part of their comprehensive plan to evangelize all of China from 1865 to 1951. That endeavor required the combined lifelong efforts of numerous missionaries, spanned several generations, and was invariably affected by events and decisions that occurred thousands of miles from where the actual ministry was taking place. The task was incomplete when the missionaries were forced to leave, but the foundations for the Church which were laid have stood. This book addresses the great challenges to cooperation that faced the missionaries. It also reveals the rich rewards that were obtained by the united efforts of commitment to work together until the task was accomplished.
