"Fifty years later, there are still numerous Orthodox Presbyterian congregations that display on their walls the memorial passed by the Committee on Foreign Missions sixteen days later on June 12, 1974. Signed by committee president Richard B. Gaffin Jr. and general secretary John P. Galbraith, the declaration gives thanks to God for the faith and life of Anna Strikwerda, handmaiden of the Lord and the first martyr of foreign missionary work in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church."

—From Danny Olinger's New Horizons article The OPC’s First Martyr: Anna Strikwerda.
