The American Missionary — Volume 43, No. 05, May, 1889

"The American Missionary — Volume 43, No. 05, May, 1889" by Various is a glimpse into the late 19th-century missionary work of the American Missionary Association. It’s a collection of articles painting a picture of their efforts to educate and uplift African Americans and Native Americans. The periodical discusses tough social problems, shining a light on the need for money to keep the missions running smoothly. This volume starts out with a plea to churches: step up and give more, especially before summer hits and donations drop. It's a call for Christians to get more involved in helping communities and schools. From educational programs in Georgia to helping Native American communities and even supporting Chinese missions, the collection displays the association’s many-sided work on the road to a fairer world through both faith and learning.
