| Summary: | Irma Highbaugh (1891-1973), an American Methodist missionary, used her thirty years of experience in China's Christian home movement to help Christians throughout Asia develop Christian home literature and train leaders in marriage and family counseling. Her publications and presence at international missionary conferences stoked interest in Christian home missiology, and she put her stamp on that missiology. She was notable for believing that both men and women should be involved with Christian home work and for insisting that significant funds and professionally trained personnel should be dedicated to this ministry. |
