HOMEPAGE OUR HISTORY OUR MISSION PROMOTION PROJECTS CONTACTS HOMEPAGESociety of African Missions BRITISH PROVINCE A warm welcome to the website of the Society of African Missions / British Province. The Society of African Missions was founded at Lyons, France in 1856. It was founded by a French Missionary, Bishop Melchior de Marion Bresillac, who set out the following four guiding principles for his work at the beginning of his missionary career:To be a missionary with all my heartTo neglect nothing that will advance the work of GodTo seize every opportunity of preaching the word of GodTo use every available means to train a native clergyWe are an international missionary Society with our missionaries coming from five continents. Our missionary focus is Africa and her people. Our purpose is to spread the values of the Gospel. We minister among those who do not know Jesus Christ, working closly with the marginalised and most abandoned.
