Anyone who thinks that one person or one family cannot have a huge impact on society and help lift an entire population out of poverty and ignorance about God’s grace and mercies needs to read the stories of Ana and Ferdinand Stahl, of Henri Monnier, of A. G. Daniells, and W. A Spicer. The sad thing is that many excellent and successful stories about Adventist missionaries, local leaders, and lay people who also did great things for God have never had their stories told. What they learned and how they approached missions are lost, and we are the poorer because of it. If you know of people who have diaries, letters, or unpublished articles about Adventist missions, please encourage them to send in their articles for a future issue, again dealing with Adventist mission. Chigemezi Wogu’s article of three immigrant families to the USA who returned to Europe as Adventist missionaries should give an added push to evangelizing immigrant groups. Immigrants already know the language and culture of their homelands and can more easily interpret Adventist beliefs and lifestyles in winsome ways that are both biblically faithful and culturally relevant. Immigrants are also some of the most re- ceptive people and should be the focus of church planting efforts wher- ever pockets of immigrants are found. Jerry Chase writes on Graphic Information Systems—something that is vitally important for meaningful assessment and evaluation of present plans and methods. His article deals with measuring outreach effective- ness for city work, but the principles apply across the board for every type of witnessing. The Seventh-day Adventist Church spends millions of dollars every year on evangelism but hardly anything on assessment and evaluation. The danger of this approach is that the church really does not know what the best practices are for reaching people, especially the most resistant of the unreached. In 2021, the spring issue will deal with mission and cross-cultural lead- ership, while the fall issue will have articles about mission to those in the world religions. Join the dialog and submit an article. Bruce L. Bauer, editor Published by Digital Commons @ Andrews University, 2021 5 iv Journal of Adventist Mission Studies, Vol. 16 [2021], No. 2, Art. 1 RUSSELL STAPLES Henri Monnier and the Establishment of the Adventist Church in Rwanda God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform, and the growth of the Adventist Church in the small Central African country of Rwanda has been one of the most remarkable developments in the history of Adventist missions. There are few places on earth where the enthusiasm of the lay people spreading the gospel overflowed all bounds, and growth was so rapid, and concern for care of the new converts so great, that responsible church administrators advised the local leaders to slow down the move- ment. It seemed as if a flood tide had been loosed and everybody wanted to become a Christian, and yet, there was nothing shallow or superficial about the movement. This is precisely what took place in Rwanda in the 1930s and early 40s. David Barrett reports: Adventists came in 1919 although they were unable to establish them- selves prior to 1921. Nevertheless, progress was rapid thereafter, and the Adventist community is now second in size only to the Catholic Church. Newer missions have been established, but all remain small. Except for Adventists who are found in all parts of the country, Prot- estantism is characterized by a regional orientation. Church statistics 1970: Catholic 1,684,095, Adventist 200,000, An- glican 161,899. Population 3,679,000. (Barrett 1982:589)1 The major features of the establishment and growth of the Adventist Church in Rwanda are described in this article by relating the remarkable life story of Henri Monnier, who entered Rwanda with D. E. Delhove in 1919. Justification for this approach is found in the fact that by the mid-1930s Adventists in Rwanda were often called Abanyere, meaning https://digitalcommons.andrews.edu/jams/vol16/iss2/1 6 et al.: Seventh-day Adventist Mission 2 the people of Munyeri—the Kinyarwanda pronunciation of Monnier. In addition Monnier was given the name Rukandirangabo meaning “The mighty one—the shield bearer.” However, this is certainly not meant to imply that Monnier worked alone. Delhove was the effective leader of the Adventist missionary venture in Rwanda, and in due course, a growing number of very dedicated missionaries joined them. Henri Monnier, 1896-1944, was born in Pieterlen (Berne, Switzerland), to parents who had become Adventists in 1890. According to an older brother, Vital, his father was “an elder in the church and had a remark- able gift of speech: a trait that Henri inherited.” The family moved to Chaux-de-Fonds a few years after Henri was born and he attended the small Adventist school at Tramelan. His father specialized in manufac- turing luminous watch and clock dials. Henri went to England in 1915 to escape the draft, sold watches, established a dial manufacturing busi- ness and married an English lady, Winifred Maddams, who had formerly been an officer in the Salvation Army. According to Vital, Henri did not attend Stanborough Missionary College and had no more than eight years of education. He was an enthusiastic Adventist and after he met Delhove, much to the surprise of his family, sold his prosperous business and pre- pared to accompany Delhove to Africa on missionary service. David Ellie Delhove 1882-1947, who operated a shoe manufacturing business in Belgium became an Adventist in 1906 under the ministry of Elder J. Curdy. After study at Watford College and Caterham Sanitarium in England, he was called to assist A. A. Carscallen at Kamagambo in Kenya. Leaving his wife and two little daughters behind he left for Africa

  • Colonialism and the Seventh-Day Adventists in Kenya
    Image not found or type unknown Colonialism and the Seventh-day Adventists in Kenya GODFREY K. SANG, AND PETER OMARI NYANGWENCHA Godfrey K. Sang is a historical researcher and writer with an interest in Adventist history. He holds a B.A. in History from the University of Eastern Africa Baraton and a number of qualifications from other universities. He is a published author. He is the co-author of the book On the Wings of a Sparrow: How the Seventh-day Adventist church came to Western Kenya. Peter Omari Nyangwencha (B.A. and M.A. in History; M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction) is a lecturer, Department of History, University of Eastern Africa, Baraton. Overview of Kenya The formal colonial period in Kenya started in 1888 with the granting of a Royal Charter to the Imperial British East Africa Company (IBEAC) by the British Crown, to exploit the British sphere of influence between Zanzibar and Uganda.1 However, it was not until July 1, 1895, that Arthur H. Hardinge, Her Majesty’s Representative and Consul General at Zanzibar, proclaimed East Africa a British protectorate.2 Between 1896 and 1900, the British established their presence among the Luo and Gusii peoples (part of Uganda protectorate).3 The relations between various communities and the British were characterized by suspicion and mistrust. The Gusii community, for instance, had been forewarned by the prophet Sakawa about the coming of strangers who would interfere with their way of life. The British, on the other hand, regarded this community as troublesome, resulting in the use of military expeditions against the community at the onset of colonial rule.

  • Foreign Missionary Program of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church
    Trim: Foreign Missionary Program D. J. B. Trim Foreign Missionary Program of the Seventh-day Adventist Church Introduction This article presents a concise history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s foreign missionary program, which would be true even of the full version: I have written rather more than can be presented even in the generous allocation of length. However, the exercise of elaborating the history has allowed me to identify, I hope, the key points. Even a longer history is far from a complete history of what A. G. Daniells, 111 years ago, called the Adventist “mission enterprise.”1 But as my team and I came to realize in doing the research for this history, the volume of documenta- tion in the General Conference (GC) Archives (much less other collections) means that writing a truly comprehensive history is at least conceivable. This article presents sketches, or outline histories, albeit anchored in the original sources. Something that is omitted from both the longer history and from my two articles are stories of the men and women who served the church in foreign climes and cultures. I hope that IPRS will commis- sion a study of Adventist missionaries, drawing on each appointee’s file; which is something I have discussed with secretariat, which would yield rich insights that could improve our systems, but would also make it pos- sible to tell the story of mission service from the missionaries’ point of view. These two articles give the perspective of the world headquarters. Although not as exciting as the stories of missionaries, denominational infrastructure is the indispensable foundation of missionary service.
