Missionaries and Peruvian Christians, Peru, ca. 1947

Black and white lantern slide showing a group of smartly dressed Peruvian Christians with two European missionaries from the Peruvian Inland Mission. A sitting front row is made up of women, whilst a row of men stands behind them. The male missionary standing at the centre of the back row is Reverend Edward James Ball, who joined the mission in 1940. A female missionary sits in the centre of the front row, who is probably Eileen Ball, nee Davis. The Balls were based at Tarapoto in San Martin province, northern Peru. This slide comes from a collection created by the Peruvian Inland Mission, an evangelical mission started in 1930 by Miss Annie G Soper in northeast Peru, which was administered by the evangelical interdenominational mission, Regions Beyond Missionary Union from 1948.

本张黑白玻璃幻灯片呈现了一群衣着考究的秘鲁基督徒，以及两位隶属于秘鲁内陆传道会（Peruvian Inland Mission）的欧洲传教士。前排就座者均为女性，后排站立者均为男性。后排中央位置站立的男性传教士为爱德华·詹姆斯·鲍尔牧师（Reverend Edward James Ball），他于1940年加入该传道会。前排中央就座的女性传教士大概率为艾琳·鲍尔（婚前姓氏为戴维斯）（Eileen Ball, nee Davis）。鲍尔夫妇的传教驻地位于秘鲁北部圣马丁省的塔拉波托（Tarapoto）。本幻灯片出自秘鲁内陆传道会的藏品系列，该福音传教机构于1930年由安妮·G·索珀女士（Miss Annie G Soper）在秘鲁东北部创立，1948年起由跨教派福音传教组织“超越地域传教联盟”（Regions Beyond Missionary Union）负责管理。
