A warm welcome to the website of the Society of African Missions (SMA) British Province. We are an international missionary Society with our missionaries coming from 24 countries. Our missionary focus is Africa and her people. Our purpose is to spread the Gospel. Our missionaries presently serve in 17 different African countries.

This year sees the SMA celebrating 150 years of mission activity in and for Africa. Our Society was founded at Lyons, France in 1856. It was founded by a French Missionary Bishop, 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 heart
To neglect nothing that will advance the work of God
To seize every opportunity of preaching the word of God
To use every available means to train a native clergy

The British Province of our Society had its beginnings in Manchester in 1953, where today, we have the Provincial Headquarters and a mission promotions centre. A further two mission promotions centres are located in London in the South and Dunblane in Scotland.

I invite you now to browse through the pages of the website where we offer information on the history, life and mission of the SMA. At the same time, I invite you to support us in our missionary work. May the Good Shepard continue to bless and protect you and your loved ones each and every day.
