McAll Mission

McAll Mission, the largest Protestant mission in France, was founded in 1871 by the Rev. Robert Whitaker McAll (born 1821, died 1893; see the Life published in 1896) and his wife. It now possesses more than 100 stations (some 40 in Paris), and is supported by Protestant Christians of all denominations in Britain and the British colonies, and the United States. Twelve years after its foundation, the mission held within the year 15,000 meetings, attended by close on a million of persons (mainly of the most neglected and irreligious classes), paid 20,000 house-to-house visits, and distributed more than 500,000 Bibles and tracts.
