The China Inland Mission was a missionary organisation formed in Britain in 1865 by Hudson Taylor to reach the Chinese with the message of Christ. Having undergone persecution at various times, it is most famous for the events of the Boxer Rebellion. During that time the China Inland Mission lost 58 adults and 21 children to the desire of the Boxers to kill foreign missionaries and Christians. When the war was over and the Chinese had lost, the Mission would not accept compensation, feeling such an act would be the best way to show the message of Christ to the Chinese.
