Stephen Kaung

Stephen Kaung(江守道 pinyin: Jiāng ShǒuDào) is a Chinese Christian speaker and writer in Richmond, Virginia. At an early age, Kaung was converted to Christianity and was active in the Methodist Church in China, with whom his father was a minister. He first met Watchman Nee in the early 1930s and joined Nee's indigenous Christian work full-time, working with him until 1949 when he left China and became involved with Christian work in other areas of the Far East.

In 1952, Kaung moved to New York City where he joined a Little Flock assembly composed mainly of Chinese immigrants and returned missionaries. This group desired to put into practice the church-pattern taught by Watchman Nee in China, and wished for Kaung to help them. Several years later, some controversy arose among the group, and they split into two. Following this, Kaung moved San Francisco to join another church there.

In 1958 Kaung travelled with Witness Lee to Europe and the Middle East, en route to Taiwan. However, he agreed with Lee's suggestion that he return to New York and went back to the United States.

In 1971, Kaung moved from New York to Washington D.C., but periodically returned to the New York group to speak and hold conferences. However, in 1973, when disagreement arose over certain church practices, Kaung broke ties with the Local Church and continued with his own ministry. Throughout the 1960s, he worked closely with T. Austin-Sparks.

Stephen Kaung's major work has been to translate the writings of Watchman Nee into English, over 50 titles, which have been published by his own organisation, Christian Fellowship Publishers (CFP), in Richmond, Virginia.
