Henry Appenzeller
Rev. Henry Gerhard Appenzeller (February 6, 1858 – June 11, 1902) was a Methodist missionary. He and four other missionaries, including Horace N. Allen, Horace G. Underwood, William B. Scranton, and Marion F. Scranton introduced Protestant Christianity to Korea from 1885 to 1902. His mission trip to Korea was motivated by three reasons, including: to transform Koreans to Methodism, convert Korean society with Christian teachings, and to establish democracy, modernization and independence in Korea. He was known by his three contributions to Korean, the Paichai College Hall, the First Methodist Episcopal Church of Seoul, and the translated New Testament〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Henry Gerhard Appenzeller : His Contribution to Korean Independence , Democracy , and Modernization )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Legacy of Henry G.

==Background and early life ==
Henry Gerhard Appenzeller was born in Souderton, Pennsylvania, in 1858. His mother was Swiss Mennonite, while his father was from Pennsylvania. His parents went to the German Reformed Church. His mother played an important role in his life. She influenced Henry's faith by gathering him and his two brothers to read German bible on Sunday afternoon. His mother spoke German but little English, therefore, German was his first language. Henry was transformed due to a personal spiritual experience on October 6, 1876. And he celebrated every year on this day as his spiritual birthday.He studied in Franklin and Marshall College, a school that is based on the Reformed Church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Century After: The Legacy of the Appenzellers, Pioneer Missionaries to Korea )〕
He joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in Lancaster at his age of twenty- one, three years after his conversion. Then he served in the church as a Methodist preacher. After that, he attended Drew Theological Seminary, a theological school. During his study in Drew Theological Seminary, he joined overseas missionary service. Before Appenzeller headed to Korea, he married Ella Appenzeller. And he had three children in his life, one of which Alice Rebecca Appenzeller was the first american born in Korea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= The Legacy of Henry G. Appenzeller )〕
