History[edit]


The BMS was formed in 1792, at a meeting in Kettering, England, where 12 ministers signed an agreement. [1][2] They were: Thomas Blundel, Joshua Burton, John Eayres, Andrew Fuller, Abraham Greenwood, William Heighton, Reynold Hogg, Samuel Pearce, John Ryland, Edward Sherman, John Sutcliff, Joseph Timms.[3]William Staughton, present at the meeting, did not sign since he was not a minister.[4] It will also known as the Baptist Missionary Society. The first missionaries, William Carey and John Thomas, were sent to Bengal, India in 1793. [5][6] They were followed by many co-workers, firstly to India, and subsequently to other countries in Asia, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe and South America. Timothy Richard is perhaps one of the most well-known Baptist missionaries to China.


Francis Augustus Cox wrote a history of the Baptist Missionary Society from its formation until 1842.[6]


The current name was adopted in 2000. [7]


BMS World Mission supports over 350 workers in 40 countries.
