To The Unknown Evangelist, My Brother
By Bian Yunbo, Translated by Glenn Woodfin
"To The Unknown Evangelist" is a famous Christian poem written by Bian Yunbo, a renowned Chinese church evangelist and writer. The poem honors anonymous, uncelebrated missionaries and preachers who sacrifice worldly comforts, fame, and safety to serve God in obscurity. It became an underground classic for generations of Chinese believers and church networks, inspiring countless individuals to endure hardship for their faith.
Bian Yunbo wrote the piece in 1948 while studying at Nanjing University. In the poem he expresses a deep appreciation for, and seeks to honor, those carrying the Gospel to remote forgotten and rugged corners of the world.
“No grand stage hears your lofty lectures, No imposing cathedral sees a trace of your shadow, You have no spot in church papers or journals, And in the elegant homes of the ‘great preachers’, You have no room nor bed!
You, You are the unknown evangelists, And only in forgotten places, May your footsteps be traced.”
