David Howard Adeney
Missionary and university evangelist in China and East Asia.
He spoke with the authority of personal example.
The Adeneys had four children, Rosemary, John, Michael, and Bernard.
There is no substitute for deep devotion, experience of the power of the Holy Spirit, and sacrificial service... There must be times of very close fellowship with the Lord, including periods of worship in the Spirit and fervent intercession for others.
