Danish Missionary Society


The Danish Missionary Society was a Christian missionary society based in Copenhagen and affiliated to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark. It was founded on 17 June, 1821 by the Rev. Bone Falck Rønne, who chaired the mission board until his demise in 1833. The organisation sent missionaries to the Danish Gold Coast, Danish West Indies, Greenland and other Danish colonies around the world. In 1828, it formed an alliance with the Basel Mission Society of Switzerland to recruit and train missionaries to be sent to the Gold Coast.
