Sheng Fang - The Place of Victory

An inspirational story of pioneer Salvationism in 1920s China.

James Gilman, a newly-commissioned Salvation Army officer, is appointed to commence the work of the Army in the small Chinese village of Sheng Fang in 1922. His task? To bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to people of a different culture, language and religion in a region ravaged by flood, famine and political turmoil.

His story is one of heartache, joy, adventure, terror, isolation, fellowship, faith, doubt, the clash of cultures  and meeting of minds. It is inspiring, disturbing, questioning, yet ultimately affirming the value of practical Christian ministry in the remotest regions, as well as in the most crowded of cities.
