The term 'Orphaned Missions' was initially used to describe missions cut off from their home base but also came to be used to describe 'the whole allied effort to help them' (source: 'World Christian Community in Action The Story of the World War II and Orphaned Missions' by K. S. Latourette and W. R. Hogg, 1949). CMS contributed to the IMC Orphaned Missions Fund. |
