In March of 1872, George Leslie Mackay became the first Canada Presbyterian Missionary to Taiwan. Many have claimed that he was the most successful Protestant missionary of all time. In the twenty-nine years he worked in Northern Taiwan, Mackay oversaw the building of sixty chapels, two schools, and a hospital. When he died there in 1901 there were more than three thousand baptized members of the Canada Presbyterian Mission in Taiwan, and the church continues to thrive to this day. While most prior narratives of the Canada Presbyterian Mission focus on George Leslie Mackay's ability as the cornerstone of this exceptional mission, I argue that it was the Taiwanese people who built most of the institutions and did most of the evangelizing for the Canada Presbyterian Mission. Mackay was deeply committed to the ideal of a Native Church built by Native workers and had the good fortune to encounter a small group of influential families who wanted to build a church for reasons of their own. For many reasons, both the Canada Presbyterian Church and its Taiwanese converts benefited by promoting Mackay as the the sole author of this project.In addition to challenging the image of native converts as mere "helpers" by arguing that they were actively attempting to construct a system which fit their needs and desires, I argue that conditions specific to Taiwan, including several significant events, helped to make Taiwan better suited to the growth of a native ministry than other parts of East Asia. In the course of making these arguments, I also attempt to illuminate the lives of several prominent Taiwanese people who enabled the growth of this exceptional mission.
