The London Missionary Society

The London Missionary Society (LMS), founded in 1795, was a Christian organization dedicated to spreading Christianity and supporting educational and social initiatives worldwide. It operated primarily through sending missionaries to various countries, particularly in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific, to provide religious teaching, healthcare, and education. The LMS aimed to promote cultural understanding and humanitarian aid, often partnering with local communities. Over time, its activities contributed to the growth of churches, schools, and hospitals in many regions, reflecting a commitment to both spiritual and developmental support.
