Albert Andersson (missionary)

Albert Andersson (8 February 1865 – 11 March 1915) was a Swedish missionary to Chinese Turkestan (modern day Xinjiang) with the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden.

He then preached at Sköfde, till he got an invitation from the Fransonska Mission to work in Northern China, where he went on January 12, 1893.

On his way to Xinjiang he and his party were delayed for a time in Russian Turkestan because of the Boxer Rebellion.

His poor health was already noticeable on September 24, 1907, but he returned to Xinjiang, nobody thinking that this was the beginning of the end.

In September 1911 his health forced him to return to Sweden, where after various doctors checked him out it became certain that his days were numbered.
