China Inland Mission (CIM)

The China Inland Mission (CIM), founded in 1865 by Hudson Taylor, was a Christian missionary organization dedicated to spreading Christianity and providing social services across China. It focused on evangelism, establishing churches, schools, and medical clinics, often working among remote and underserved regions. CIM emphasized indigenous leadership and cultural understanding to effectively reach Chinese communities. Over time, it played a significant role in China’s mission movement, contributing to cultural exchange and humanitarian efforts. Today, its legacy influences mission work in China and globally, emphasizing faith-driven service and cross-cultural engagement.
