MBC & Mission
American Baptist mission, started by Adoniram Judson in 1813, became Burma Baptist Missionary Conference: BBMC in 1865. That is the beginning of Myanmar Baptist Convention: MBC.
MBC Mission Now
MBC now is comprised of 1,612,350 members, 1929 local churches, 115 associations, 18 regional conventions and 2directly affiliated churches. Though the leadership abruptly transferred to the nationals in 1963, after military coup in 1962, with much struggles MBC has never lost its mission to evangelized and plant churches. After mission in transition and crisis periods through 1970s MBC gained its foothold in 1980s. The revival of MBC itself and its churches comes with AD 2000 Mission (1990-2000). After this, during Mission to the Plain (1998-2002)period, 39 mission fields were launched and 25 churches were planted. Now 30-50 churches are planted annually. As the result the number of Baptist churches after bicentenary mission celebration will be over 5000.
