Missionary movements expand across continents during war time
The Gripsholm carried 366 missionaries from 46 boards and churches to the United States and Canada after Pearl Harbor. Many face return to service after the war, with six new Presbyterian missionaries in Mexico and two couple commissions soon. The Universal Week of Prayer runs Jan 2–9 with joint services and cottage meetings where needed. Protestant and Catholic efforts grow in the Americas especially among indigenous populations in Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, and the mountain republics.
