Adventist History in Indonesia: Third Generation Missionary

Third Generation Missionary

D. S. JOHNSON
Associate Secretary, General Conference

Pastor and Mrs. George W. Munson and
son Glenn left recently for the Far East
ern Division, where Brother Munson will
serve as president of the Sabah Mission.
The Munson's have served in Korea since
1946, and were recently requested to lead
out in the work in Sabah, formerly known
as North Borneo.

Brother Munson is a third-generation
missionary, and both his grandfather,
R. W. Munson, and his father, Albert
Munson, were ordained ministers of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church. It was
his grandfather, R. W. Munson, who pio
neered our Seventh-day Adventist work
in Indonesia. The George Munson's eld
est son, Lloyd, remains in the United
States, and has entered Pacific Union
College, where he has begun training for
the ministry.

Mrs. Munson is the daughter of Brother
and Sister Lyman Bowers, and was born
in Korea, where her parents were mis
sionaries for fourteen years. The Mun-
sons are typical of the dedicated mission
ary families who are serving the church
in many lands of earth.

son Albert, who lived in Australia from
1905 to 1909, and again for several years
following 1911, when Albert attended
Avondale College. During his term of
missionary service in Java and Celebes, he
spent a furlough in Australia in 1929.]
