Mission Society
Mission societies are institutions that aim to send out missionaries . In the following, no distinction is whether the missionary work done in other cultures and religions, formerly known as Gentiles - Mission designated, or if this in their own culture or even as evangelism is done in one's own or related religious communities, for example with the Revival Mission and the Mission Werner Heukelbach or connected with social services to the neighbor , such as the works of the Inner Mission, for example the Hamburg city mission or the station mission . In some works, both tasks are mixed. The focus of the list is on the Outer Mission .
