520 |a This essay describes the creation of the American mission to "the Sudan" carried out by Lutherans of Norwegian descent. In this case, the Sudan is not the modern nation or nations bearing the name, but the 3,000 miles of savanna stretching through central Africa to the west of modern Sudan. The missionaries navigated the French colonial government and befriended African chiefs. They traversed long stretches of land, mostly on foot, while establishing new mission stations. The Norwegian Lutheran Church in America in 1917 initially declined to support A. E. Gunderson’s proposal of a Sudan mission as an official ministry of the NLCA, but it encouraged him in his efforts. After thirty-five years of successful independent missionary work, the NLCA, now named the Evangelical Lutheran Church adopted the Sudan Mission in 1952. The Sudan Mission’s legacy continues in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Cameroon and the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Central African Republic.
