North China Mission in the Province of Honan

In 1888, seven Canadian missionaries from the Presbyterian Church of Canada (later merged to form the United Church of Canada) established the North China Mission in the Province of Honan, located in current day Henan, China.^[1] The original group included Dr. William McClure, notable for research on visceral leishmaniasis disease, and Jonathan Goforth. Dr. Jean Dow joined the mission in 1895. Medicine was a key tool used by the mission to evangelize the people of the North Honan province. Extensive stays in missionary hospitals, gave medical missionaries plenty of time to preach to and teach patients about the word of God.
