A Visit to Trans-Africa By M. V. CAMPBELL Vice-President of the General Conference ... The Republic of Kenya was particu- larly interesting to me because the field in its early days was almost exclusively manned by college friends of mine from England. The Kisii area of this nation brought to my mind the days, about 45 years ago, when my brother-in-law and and sister, Elder and Mrs. E. A. Beavon, went there to pioneer the work, remain- ing for ten years. Elder Beavon reduced the Kisii language to writing, and trans- lated the Gospel of John into that lan- guage for the British and Foreign Bible Society. The son of his first convert to Christianity is now president of the nearby field of Ranen. God has greatly blessed the work among the Kisii people, and their small area now has one of the greatest concentrations of Adventists on the African continent.... http://www.adventistarchives.org/docs/RH/RH1967-06/index.djvu?djvuopts&page=15 ---------------------------- . |
