<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Peter Abraham "P. A." Friesen was a pioneer missionary in [[India|India]] and bishop in the [[Mennonite Church in India|Mennonite Church in India]]. He was born 22 May 1879 at [[Mountain Lake (Minnesota, USA)|Mountain Lake]], [[Minnesota (USA)|Minnesota]], the fourth of five children born to Johann and Marie (Bartsch) Friesen. P. A. attended local schools and early on became an active member in the [[Bruderthaler|Bruderthaler]] Mennonite (Evangelical Mennonite Brethren, now [[Fellowship of Evangelical Bible Churches|Fellowship of Evangelical Bible Churches]]) congregation and an active participant in its mission program. He taught in the congregations's German school (1903-1904) and worked as an evangelist and colporteur.<br />
<br />
P. A. married Helena Hiebert in 1901 at Mountain Lake, and they applied for mission work with the Mennonite Evangelizing and Benevolent Board (MC), Elkhart, IN. in 1903. On 23 December 1906 P. A. was ordained to the ministry, and on 7 March 1907, he and Helena arrived in India to work with the American Mennonite Mission in Dhamtari, C.P. (later [[Madhya Pradesh State (India)|Madhya Pradesh]]). They opened the [[Sankra (Zion) Mennonite Church (Madhya Pradesh, India)|Sankra]] station in 1911, and P. A. served as pastor of the Zion Mennonite congregation there for many years. He helped with drawing up the first constitution of the [[Mennonite Church in India|India Mennonite Conference]] (adopted 1912). He was ordained bishop in 1916. He personally favored an emphasis on evangelism over an emphasis on education and institutional ministries.<br />
<br />
Two children, Mary and Rosa as well as his first wife, Helena (1921), died in India. In 1922 P. A. married fellow missionary [[Friesen, Florence Cooprider (1887-1985)|Florence Cooprider]], a physician. Working together at Sankra, they developed the Roadside Leprosy Clinics along with their district touring program. Throughout [[Durg (Chhattisgarh, India)|Durg District]], "Burhwa Sahib" (the old gentleman) and "Sankra Daktarini" (the Sankra lady doctor) were household words spoken with reverence and respect.<br />
<br />
In 1941 the Friesens retired from foreign service and accepted an assignment to administer a home for nursing students in [[Denver (Colorado, USA)|Denver]] and to minister to the [[Conscientious Objection|conscientious objectors]] working in [[Civilian Public Service|Civilian Public Service]] (CPS) in the city. Later they served in pastoral and medical work in [[Greensburg (Kansas, USA)|Greensburg]], [[Kansas (USA)|Kansas]] and from 1955 until P. A.'s death on 28 October 1967 they lived in Hesston, [[Kansas (USA)|Kansas]]. P. A. had eight children by his first marriage: Peter, Elizabeth, Mary, Ida, Rosa, William, John, and Edward. He had two children with Florence, Paul and Grace.<br />
