1933 April 09
Johanna Veenstra (1894–1933) was a Dutch-American missionary who served in Nigeria. She was the first missionary sent by the Christian Reformed Church in North America to West Africa. Alongside her colleague Miss Haigh, she established a school and a medical dispensary, providing both education and healthcare to the local people. Through her ministry, many from the Kuteb tribe embraced Christianity. Her pioneering efforts contributed to the formation of the Christian Reformed Church of Nigeria (CRCN) and the Reformed Church of Christ in Nigeria (RCCN), both headquartered in Takum, Taraba State.
