Although these missionaries were full-blooded Danes and parents were born and raised in Denmark, they often did not speak the Danish language and had to learn it as a second language in their first months in Denmark.
The greatest missionary work in the mid-1800s was done by local missionaries who were called in Denmark to work in their neighborhoods or travel to other areas of Denmark and Scandinavia to do missionary work among their own countrymen.
This was also the period of greatest growth in Denmark, much surpassing in number of baptisms the later period when hundreds of foreign missionaries worked in Denmark.
