摘要：Robert Milton Evans had the privilege of living during changing times in two centuries. His life began in the middle of the nineteenth century and bridged over into the twentieth. Evans was born in 1847 in DeKalb, Mississippi, USA and grew up in the rural farm community of Live Oak, in the north-central area of Florida. Evans was 25 years old when he entered the pastoral ministry of the Southern Methodist Church in 1872. After coming out of retirement at the age of 63, Evans and his missionary party set sail for Nassau on December 31, 1909, and within five days, they landed in the Bahamas on January 4, 1910.1Evans was the first cross-cultural missionary for the Church of God (Cleveland, TN, USA). The Church of God began as the Christian Union, near the North Carolina-Tennessee border
