Bringing the love of Christ to unreached people is at the heart of what American Baptists do today… and throughout our history.  175 years ago, American Baptists introduced Christianity to warring tribes in North East India.  Today, this same region has grown to be a thriving Christian land with over 90% of its residents reporting to be Christians and more than 75% of them are Baptists!

 

Do you want to know more?  You can learn about American Baptists in N.E. India in the new downloadable videos and printed materials now available in English and Spanish at www.worldmissionoffering.org (scroll down).  Or you can request that a World Mission Offering (WMO) packet be sent to you by emailing Tammy at Tammy.tull@abc-usa.org, or calling her at 1-800-4JUDSON.

 

Produced by American Baptist International Ministries (IM), WMO materials include true stories of what God is doing in N.E. India and throughout the world.  Using the stories and videos, your small group or congregation can tackle questions such as: 

 

  • What does evangelism mean to you?
  • In what areas of the world is Christianity growing like wildfire… and why?
  • Why are Christians in other parts of the world thanking American Baptists?
  • What happened 175 years ago in N.E. India that launched an extraordinary Christian movement?
  • What are the many ways you can serve God in ministries worldwide?

CHECK IT OUT… Look at the WMO resources on the website for insights into these questions.  Also check out the video entitled, “From Headhunters to Evangelists: American Baptists Bring Christianity to N.E. India.” (6:30) It tells the true story of how American Baptists and native Christians succeeded in evangelizing this region in India. It suggests scripture passages and hymns to use when showing the video in morning worship, with a Sunday school class or in a small group.
