Former Site of the Wujiang Bible Institute of the Christian and Missionary Alliance

　　The Wujiang Bible Institute of the Christian and Missionary Alliance was established in 1899 in Wuzhou, Guangxi, by Dr. Robert Glover, a Western missionary from the Christian and Missionary Alliance. In 1949, under the leadership of Rev. Andrew Gih, the institute relocated to Cheung Chau, Hong Kong. Since its founding, nearly 3,000 students have graduated and gone on to serve around the world, upholding the spirit of pioneering, endurance, and fervor in their ministry. Rev. Andrew Gih and his wife, Ruth Gih (an American), moved the Wujiang Bible Institute to a remote island in Hong Kong after World War II and the political changes in China. They continued the mission of theological education and served as the first president of the relocated institute for over 20 years, among many other contributions.

　　Former Site of the Bible Institute: In 1897 (the 23rd year of the Guangxu Emperor’s reign), China and Britain signed the Supplementary Treaty of Burma, which included a provision designating Wuzhou as a treaty port for foreign trade, prompting the beginning of missionary activities in the area. In 1899, Dr. Robert Glover of the American Christian and Missionary Alliance founded the “Wuchang Theological School” on Sifang Road in Wuzhou, later renamed the “Wuchang Boys’ School.” In 1902, the “Wuchang Girls’ School” was established on Zhushan Hill. In 1937, the two schools merged on Zhushan and were renamed the “Wujiang Bible Institute.” In 1949, the institute moved to Cheung Chau in Hong Kong. The Wuzhou Holy Word Bible Institute was the first school established by the Christian and Missionary Alliance in its various mission fields and also the second theological educational institution founded by the Alliance globally.
