German Mission Foundation History
The foundation was started in 2000, as the South German Mission Foundation, Inc. by missionaries who served under President Orville Gunther. The first pages of the first newsletter are below. Following this newsletter, subsequent newsletters will be published documenting the history and accomplishments of the foundation, and its evolution from a South German missionary organization to one that has adopted the broader mission of serving all German saints, and documenting as much history from all German missions as comes our way.
