"In 1897 the Christian and Missionary Alliance sent the Canadian Robert A. Jaffray to Wuzhou, Guangxi, where he served for 35 years, leading the Alliance work in South China, helping to found the Wuzhou Bible School, and editing the Chinese Bible Magazine, which was read in Chinese communities all over the world. To reach the overseas Chinese of Southeast Asia he founded the Chinese Foreign Missionary Union, which sent missionaries to Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, yet he refused to be its president, believing Chinese leaders should take up that role. After Japan invaded the Indonesian island where he was stationed in 1942, he was interned and died in captivity in 1945 of illness and malnutrition."
