German Lutheran Mission

The German Lutheran Mission refers to various efforts by German Lutheran churches to spread Christianity, particularly in the 19th and early 20th centuries. These missions aimed to evangelize and assist local communities in Africa, Asia, and other regions, often establishing schools and healthcare facilities. They emphasized both spiritual teaching and social welfare. The mission work was supported by volunteers and donations from German congregations, reflecting a blend of faith and social responsibility. While it played a significant role in the spread of Christianity, it also interacted complexly with local cultures and colonial contexts.
