Summary: | Popularly known as “the China Nurse,” Elisabeth Redelstein was one of the most influential missionary nurses the Seventh-day Adventist Church ever had. Her life of service included her caring for patients in the United States, China, and Taiwan. Her devotion to work led her into friendship with the ruling family of China in the 1930s. Her zeal for health empowerment, including educating nurses in China and Taiwan, arose from her passion for women’s emancipation. Her commitment to the gospel and evangelization led her to engage in relief, social intervention, and rehabilitation efforts in Germany following the Second World War. |
