Geoffrey D. Lehmann

Geoffrey D. Lehmann (12 January 1904 – 15 April 1994) was an English religious and medical missionary founded and built the Herbertpur Christian Hospital along with his wife Monica Lehmann, in the village of Herbertpur, located in the Doon Valley in India in 1936.

The aim of his mission was to spread the Christian faith among a largely Hindu and Muslim population in Herbertpur and surrounding areas as well as to provide medical care and treatment at extremely cheap or no cost to the villagers.

Lehmann was born in 1904 in London and attended prep school as a child. He later trained as an engineer from Oxford University, after which he pursued medicine from the same university. His family resided on a farm near Sherwood in Nottinghamshire, where they raised chickens, ducks, turkeys, cows and more animals. As a child, Lehmann's parents tried to raise him with wholesome experiences, as he enjoyed many different past-times such as: watching the Queen's servants on the royal grounds, enjoying nature, and watching the family's chauffeur turn on their steam engines. Their first child, Priscilla Ruth, was born in Kachhwa. Most medical evangelists gave full attention to their medical work and left missionary work for the local evangelists.

The Lehmanns established the Herbertpur Trust to encourage national evangelism programs.

Dr. Geoffrey Lehmann's life and work were the subject of The Himalayan Heartbeat, a book written by Ken Anderson, which was published in 1965.
