1880 March 12
Alfred Saker (1814-1880) was a British missionary who played a key role in spreading Christianity in Cameroon, Africa. He was associated with the Baptist Missionary Society and is best known for his efforts in evangelism, translation, and establishing Christian communities in West Africa. He preferred to be known simply as a “Missionary to Africa”. In 1858, he led a mission from the Spanish island of Fernando Po to Southern Cameroons, where he purchased land from Bimbia chiefs and founded Victoria, later renamed Limbe in 1982.
