Through this work we will be seeking an answer to the question, “How was the Baptist Church established in Macao?” To answer the question requires that we see the Galloways in the context of their place and time. This requires an understanding of the missionary culture, specifically the Baptist missionary culture. We must also examine the context through a brief look at the Macao culture and situation of their ministry season. Before any of those issues are addressed it will be helpful to present some background regarding John and Lilian as well as the work in Macao prior to their arrival until today.In this section we will introduce the research problem along with some background for understanding the work of John and Lilian Galloway in Macao, China during the period of 1908 to 1968.
