Hong Kong consists of the island of Hong Kong, Stonecutter’s Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories on the adjoining mainland. On June 30, 1997, Britain’s 99-year lease on the New Territories expired and sovereignty over Hong Kong reverted back to China. However, an agreement, which China and Britain signed on December 19, 1984, allows Hong Kong to keep its capitalistic system for an additional 50 years. Today Hong Kong enjoys a high level of autonomy that includes freedom of religion. In February 1976 the late Roger Edwards and his wife Barbara became the first UPCI missionaries to Hong Kong. The UPC of Hong Kong now has 676 constituents, six ministers, and eight churches and preaching points.

Bio: When the Stephen O’Donnells arrived in Hong Kong with the U.S. State Department in April 1984, they knew they were in God’s will. Even as Conquerors Bible College students, they both desired to work among Chinese-speaking people. So while employed by the diplomatic corps, they worked as self-supported AIMers. However, when the U.S. government planned to reassign O’Donnell to another location, they applied for full missionary appointment so that they might devote themselves full time to the work of God. They received their missionary appointment to Hong Kong in 1987. They were on location when Britain handed over Hong Kong to China, taking advantage of the situation to offer the hope of Christ to those who felt they faced an uncertain future. Stephen O’Donnell is also in charge of evangelism efforts in the People’s Republic of China.
