London Missionary Society

The London Missionary Society (LMS) was a Christian missionary organization founded in 1795 in England. Its goal was to spread Christianity and support education, healthcare, and community development around the world, especially in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific. The LMS sent missionaries to various countries to establish churches, schools, and medical facilities, often working alongside local communities. While motivated by religious ideals, the society also contributed to cultural exchange and social improvements, playing a significant role in global Christian missions during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
