The Society was founded in 1814 as the Baptist Board for Foreign Missions by the Triennial Convention (now American Baptist Churches USA). [1] The first mission of the organization takes place in Burma with the missionaries Adoniram Judson and Ann Hasseltine Judson. [2] Other missions that followed took place in Siam in 1833, India in 1840, China in 1842, Japan in 1872 and Philippines in 1900. [3] It is renamed American Baptist Missionary Union in 1845, American Baptist Foreign Mission Society in 1910, American Board of International Ministries in 1973.[4] In 2018, it has 1,800 volunteers in 70 countries.
