Robert A. Jaffray
Robert Alexander Jaffray (1873 – July 29, 1945) was a missionary to China, Indonesia and several other countries, with The Christian & Missionary Alliance, who served as the founding principal of the Alliance Bible Seminary, in Hong Kong, and principal contributor and editor of the Chinese language Bible Magazine.Robert's father had great ambitions for his child, wanting him to one day become the CEO and owner of Toronto Globe.One year after arriving in Wuzhou, Jaffray began making trips to what is now Vietnam (at the time it was French Indochina).[3] To meet the urgent need of serving overseas Chinese in South East Asia, Jaffray founded the CFMU to send out missionaries to Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines.[4] He refused to be the president of the CFMU and believed that Chinese leaders should take up the role instead, so that they could adopt their own ideas in the future.
