Mission today

Tidningen Mission / a magazine / periodical about how to sponsor children. "Mission" can be ordered free of charge and you can read more about becoming a sponsor for a child. When Anna Kempe worked in India, there was of course no internet, so she wrote letters on paper. Sometimes the letters arrived in Finland weeks or months after she had sent them. But some of them as well as photos are today preserved in an archive in Helsinki. Today it is also easy to find internetpages about the region where she worked. But in her lifetime, people back home, here in Finland had no coloured photos to look at, her letters with descriptions of her life and people she met was surely interesting reading for them.

Several different organizations or associations for mission in other countries supported Anna Kempe.
Finska missionssällskapet was one of them.
