Career[edit]

India[edit]

During Hahn's ministry in Andhra Pradesh, India during 1955–1968,[4] he served as a Baptist missionary along the coast of Andhra Pradesh in the Churches of the Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars and later became Principal of the residual[6] Baptist Theological Seminary, Kakinada during 1964–1966 succeeding Waldo Penner. After a two-year stint at the Seminary, Victor Hahn resigned in 1966 citing health reasons[6] leading to the appointment of Paul Antrobus by the Seminary Council of the Baptist Theological Seminary, Kakinada.

Canada[edit]

Hahn left India in 1968 and continued to serve the Canadian Baptist Ministries and was in charge of missionary housing in Hamilton and Ontario.[1] Hahn later settled at Oakville, Ontario[7] and also taught elementary students (grades 3 to 5) at Oakwood Public School, Oakville[8] where his methods of teaching inspired many. One among his students was Amir Hussain who acknowledges the inspiration from the elementary school classes taught by Victor Hahn.[9]
