Danish Missionary Society

The Danish Missionary Society was a Christian missionary society based in Copenhagen and affiliated to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Denmark.[1] It was founded on 17 June, 1821 by the Rev. Bone Falck Rønne (1764–1833), who chaired the mission board until his demise in 1833.[1] The organisation sent missionaries to the Danish Gold Coast, Danish West Indies, Greenland and other Danish colonies around the world.[1] In 1828, it formed an alliance with the Basel Mission Society of Switzerland to recruit and train missionaries to be sent to the Gold Coast.[1]
