Author: Brown, Arthur J.
Description: While missionaries in Bangkok at the end of 19th century were lamenting how hard it was to reach people, Eugene Dunlap was out there doing it. In his schooner, “The Kalamazoo,” Dunlap sailed up and down the Thai coast, stopping at islands, and sailing up rivers sharing the Gospel. In this brief biographical sketch, Presbyterian Foreign Mission Board Secretary Arthur J. Brown draws upon Dunlap's journals and first-hand experience to give the reader an insightful and inspiring portrait of the life and ministry of this little known missionary pioneer.

View the PDF document Title: Dodds Narrative: The State of the Northern Thai Church in 1887
Author: Swanson, Herb
Description: Article about the state of the northern Thai church from Rev. William Clifton Dodd's "Narrative for the Year ending Oct 1886." Such narratives, frequently entitled, "Narrative on the State of Religion in the Presbytery," were considered by many presbyteries in the United States to be annual reports of the condition of their churches. This particular narrative provides us with a unique look at the state of the northern Thai church after twenty years of missionary evangelism and church work. What follows in this essay is an informal commentary on the narrative, using it as a starting point for reflecting on the early history of the northern Thai church.
