        History

        Elizabeth Mackenzie was born in England on May 9, 1888. She was appointed to Angola by the Congregational Woman’s Missionary Society in 1919, and arrived there in 1920. Once there, she became fluent in Portuguese and Umbundu and began to train other new missionaries. Her first appointment was to Means School, Dondi but she was soon transferred to Camundongo for evangelistic work. Her first furlough was in 1925 and when she returned to Angola in 1926 she was stationed again at Camundongo where she remained until 1931. Her next term was at Lutamo, 1932-1937. There, she taught Scripture at the Currie Institute, and was the W.M.S. corresponding secretary for the Angola Mission. After her second furlough she was again appointed to Lutamo, and spent the rest of her time in Africa there, except one year at Galengue in literature production, and the last few years at Chissamba in literature work and teaching language to new missionaries. She became seriously ill in Angola in 1949, and passed away there on March 3, 1950.
