Picture
2014 marks 112 years of Adventism in China and East Asia. Jacob & Emma Anderson and Ida Thompson arrived in Hong Kong on February 2, 1902 from Wisconsin as missionaries of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. However, the seeds of the Adventist message were sown by Abram La Rue fourteen years earlier in 1888. This conference provides an unique opportunity for reflection on the history and impact of Adventism in China and East Asia

Picture
