Answer

Carey was invited by the Danish authorities to serve as a pastor in the Danish colony of Serampore. Carey and his wife arrived in 1793, and his first contribution was to start schools for impoverished children. He also started a mission to convert the people of Serampore to Christianity, and he established a printing press to publish Christian literature.
