Summary: | Hildegard Prozell (1869–1948) was the first female missionary from the territory of Latvia (then the Russian Empire), who went to India to serve through Leipzig Mission. During her thirteen-year ministry there she established multiple schools for girls, was the school principal, developed zenana mission work in Mayavaram, and trained Bible women in India. Because of her ministry, a female mission support association was established in Riga, as well as mission nights and conferences. Her writing gave people back home a window to sharing the Good News to children in Eastern India. |
