"Born in Fuzhou, Leland Wang (Wang Zai) was led to Christ by his wife in 1920. Obedient to the Bible and sensing a call to ministry, he left his Navy career as a gunboat officer in 1921, rented a hall in Fuzhou and began ringing a handbell to draw a crowd. In 1928 he formed the Chinese Foreign Missionary Union to evangelize the scattered Chinese of the South Seas; at one time it had twenty-six Chinese workers in thirteen mission stations and countries, the first mission board of its kind. He lived by a self-imposed rule: "No Bible, no breakfast.""
