New Lovedale Mission Starts Quietly in East Africa
A Scottish group funded fifty thousand dollars to establish a new Lovedale in east Africa north of Mount Kilimanjaro on the Massai plain. Dr. James Stewart led 278 caravan men from Zanzibar to Kibweai, selecting a healthy site with water and timber, building six houses a church and roads, and beginning farming of European crops. The station sits 5000 feet above sea level, with six white workers learning local language and preparing for future work.
