Description
Dr. George Heber Jones visited the prosperous island of Kangwha in 1892. After only three days, the Governor ordered him to leave. In his short stay he became acquainted with a few people and later sent a native evangelist. In spite of bitter prosecution, a vigorous work followed. Ten years later, 200+ prominent Christians escorted Dr. Jones through the very gate from which he had been previously driven. In those ten years, church membership came to exceed 2000.
