Timeline

1913

Charles Richard Hillis (1913–2005) was an American Protestant Christian missionary to China, author, and founder of "Formosa Crusades", later "Orient Crusades" and "Overseas Crusades", now "OC International".

Hillis was born an American citizen in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, before the family moved to Monroe, Washington.

Hillis was an adventurer.

1926

At the age of thirteen in 1926, Dick attended evangelistic meetings at the little Methodist church in town, where his mother served as chairman of the church’s missionary committee.

It was during these meetings where Dr. George Bennard, (the author of the gospel hymn The Old Rugged Cross) was the guest speaker, that young Dick Hillis was called to go to China as a missionary.

1932

He trained for ministry at the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (BIOLA) and graduated in 1932.

At the age of 20, Dick Hillis was on his way to China with the China Inland Mission (CIM) (now OMF International), founded by Hudson Taylor.

Hillis was the youngest American missionary candidate ever accepted by the CIM.

1934

On December 8, 1934, Hillis' CIM colleagues, John and Betty Stam, were beheaded in Tsingteh.

CIM mission headquarters in Shanghai sent word of the Stam’s execution to Hillis, who was just completing his first year in China.

Hillis reportedly said, "Will I, too, be captured and murdered? Am I going to die here, too, Lord, alone and thousands of miles from home?"

Hillis and his family spent most of World War II in the United States, but returned to China after the war, only to face further conflict between the Chinese Communists and the Chinese Nationalist Party.

1936

In 1936, Hillis married Margaret Humphrey, a fellow missionary with China Inland Mission.

They had six children together.

1950

In 1950 Hillis and his family were expelled from China, and returned to the United States.

Soon after Hillis took a position as the Taiwan director of Youth for Christ, and it was at this time that he formed a traveling evangelistic basketball team, which he renamed Venture for Victory and which led Hillis to form his own mission organization.

1951

In 1951, Hillis left Youth for Christ and founded "Formosa Crusades" as he initially responded to Madam Chiang Kai-Shek's request for men to preach to Chinese Nationalist Army soldiers in Taiwan and then to requests of Taiwanese churches that the visiting teams remain to help in training lay people and church personnel.

He became General Director (1951-1970); retired for health reasons and in order to provide full-time spiritual leadership of the mission (1970); briefly assumed the newly created position of President (1976) and upon the appointment of Luis Palau as President was named Vice-President-At-Large to actively assist the mission and participate in missions conferences and seminars.

1981

Margaret Hillis died in 1981, and Hillis married Ruth Kopperud in 1982.

1985

On New Year's Eve, 1985, Dr. Dick Hillis received the Far East Broadcasting Company's Founder's Award at the "Rejoice '86" celebration.

Today the global outreaches of OC International continue.

2005

He died on December 14, 2005.
