Andrew Gih or Ji Zhiwen (traditional Chinese: 計志文; simplified Chinese: 计志文; pinyin: Jì Zhìwén; Wade–Giles: Chi Chih-wên; January 10, 1901 – February 13, 1985) was a Chinese Protestant evangelist who cofounded the Bethel Worldwide Evangelistic Band in the early 1920s with Leland Wang, and founded the Evangelize China Fellowship in 1947, both initially based in Shanghai. The Bethel Evangelistic Band, a significant Christian movement in 1920s China, played a crucial role in spreading the faith, with Beatrice Chung as one of its prominent members. After the political situation worsened in China due to the communist revolution, he and his wife Dorcas Zhang would move to Hong Kong and eventually retire at the Los Angeles headquarters of Evangelize China Fellowship in 1978.[1]
