Bishop Jens Christensen (born Chicago, 24 August 1899 – 1966) was a Lutheran missionary and bishop. Christensen was consecrated Bishop of the Lutheran Church in Pakistan (PLC) in 1955. ==Early life and mission work== Jens Christensen was born on 24 August 1899 in Chicago, of Danish parents. Jens' father, Christen Christensen (died 1944), was an engineer in the American Telegraph Service, and his mother was Margrethe Poulsen (died 1947). They were members of the Presbyterian Church. During the First World War, Christensen volunteered for service and joined a regiment bringing provisions to the front line. Back home in 1918, he resolved to become a pastor/missionary abroad, and began his training at the New York Missionary Training School in Nyack. Christensen was sent to India by the Christian and Missionary Alliance in 1922, together with another young missionary, T. Wiley. They were sent to the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) to learn the language and start mission work. In 1925, Christensen accepted a post at the Danish Tent Mission (later called the Danish Pashtun Mission). He became engaged to one of the nursing sisters, Margrethe Rasmussen. They were married in January 1926.
