James Landrum Holmes

Biography

James Landrum Holmes was an American missionary who devoted himself to Christian evangelical work in Shandong Province during the nineteenth century. Born in 1836, he answered the call to missionary service and worked among the Chinese population, seeking to establish and nurture Christian communities in the region.

Holmes's dedication to his missionary vocation in Shandong reflected the broader American Protestant missionary movement in China during this era. His life, though brief, was marked by commitment to his faith and service to others, and he died in 1861 while still engaged in his missionary endeavors.
