MBC & MissionAmerican Baptist mission, started by Adonirum Judson in 1813, became Burma Baptist Missionary Conference: BBMC in 1865. That is the beginning of Myanmar Baptist Convention: MBC.

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).
