John McKendree Springer
John McKendree Springer (7 September 1873 – 2 December 1963) was an American bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church and The Methodist Church, elected Missionary Bishop for Africa in 1936. He was also a pioneering missionary instrumental in developing Methodism on the continent of Africa. While in Africa he introduced schools which came to be welcomed by many of the tribal chiefs and which the young Africans came to grow very fond of.
