In 1816 he became associated with the Glasgow Missionary Society while still in Scotland and〔 sailed to South Africa on the ship ''Woodlark'' as a catechist where he carried out his missionary work in the Ciskei.〔 ==Missionary work== John Bennie is one of the founding fathers of the Lovedale Mission Station, which was established among the Ngqika. Bennie resigned from his post at Lovedale due to the deteriorating health of his wife. He went on to establish a mission church for the Dutch Reformed Church in Middelburg. In 1843, John Bennie was transferred by the Glasgow Missionary Society to the Burnshill Mission Station in British Kaffraria. The station had been established by the society in 1831. It was while Bennie was posted at Burnshill that he made the journey described in his book, An account of a journey into Transorangia and the Potchefstroom-Winburg Trekker Republic in 1843; edited by D. Williams, into the interior of South Africa to administer to the spiritual needs of the voortrekkers with his father-in-law and brother-in-law.
