April 9, 1934 - Louisa Lee Becomes First Missionary of Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions

Louisa Lee graduated from college with a teaching degree in 1911, and she began using this degree for the Lord soon after. Louisa Lee finished her first tour of duty with Presbyterian USA Missions in India in 1934. However, after she completed this, the Mission told her that they no longer accepted the authority and inerrancy of Scripture. Because of this, she left the Presbyterian USA group and became the first missionary commissioned by the new Independent Board for Presbyterian Foreign Missions and returned to India. She would continue teaching for the remainder of her life.
