Our history

Liebenzell Mission International was founded in 1899 under the name of the "German Branch of the China Inland Mission, Ltd." in Hamburg, Germany, at the instigation of Dr.Hudson Taylor. By 1902, circumstances necessitated the move to Bad Liebenzell, a small resort town located in Southern Germany's Black Forest. In 1906, due to various developments, the name "Liebenzell Mission" was adopted.
