The history of Christian Missions often overlooks regions like the Arctic, especially Greenland. However, these pages will show that near the North Pole, missionaries displayed as much devotion and heroism as those in the tropical zones. While fewer and less renowned, these missionaries were humble, focused, and tireless in their work. The true spirit of mission burned within them, despite the incredibly harsh conditions they faced.

Patience, a hallmark of any true missionary, was embodied by these individuals. For them, patience wasn’t just a practice; it was a way of life. If there is one trait that defines their legacy, it is their unwavering perseverance. Even when their efforts seemed hopeless from a human perspective, they pressed on. Their dedication deserves recognition and honor.

Hans Egede, the central figure in this volume, exemplified this kind of missionary commitment.
