Translated" or "Transformed: The Use of Western Hymns in the Evangelization of the Lisu of Southwest China

However, that was not how it happened when the Lisu of southwest China were evangelized by missionaries from the China Inland Mission in the 1920s and 1930s.

No longer occupying separate corners, the new international focus of Germany and Japan's def…
