The London Missionary Society began its existence in 1794 in a coffee house, and flourished in the upper room of a public house.
"One of the central tenets of the Christian faith is the commandment to spread the word. The London Missionary Society, founded in 1792, sent families to postings as far-flung as the Kalihari desert, Tahiti, and Canton to spread the gospel. But in an era when mail could take over a year to arrive, the LMS had little way of knowing how effective its efforts were. In 1821 the LMS deputized George Bennet and Daniel Tyerman to travel the world, to visit its stations and report on their progress.
On the Missionary Trail is an extraordinary account of this expedition."--BOOK JACKET.
