Boston Missionary Society

The Boston Missionary Society was a Christian organization founded in the early 19th century with the goal of spreading Christianity, especially through missionary work abroad. It supported efforts to establish churches, schools, and medical services in various regions, notably in Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world. The society also promoted the training of missionaries and provided resources to support their work. Its mission was driven by a sense of religious calling and a desire to improve communities through spiritual and social development, reflecting the broader 19th-century movement of Christian missions and global outreach.
