- Bangladesh Baptist Fellowship
The Bangladesh Baptist Fellowship (BBF) is a national cooperative association of Baptist churches in Bangladesh. It traces its origins from missionary work conducted by Baptists from New Zealand in 1886 [Open Doors International: [http://sb.od.org/index.php?supp_page=bangladesh Bangladesh in Brief] ] under the auspices of the New Zealand Baptist Mission [cite web |url=http://www.atma-o-jibon.org/english/christianity_in_bangladesh.htm|title=Christianity in Bangladesh |accessdate=2008-06-30 |author=Jerome D'Costa |work=Atma o-Jibon |publisher=Jeremy Driscoll OSB |date= ] . The BBF is today the largest Baptist body in Bangladesh [Baptist World Alliance: [http://www.bwanet.org/default.aspx?pid=437 Member Bodies and Statistics] ] .
A large majority of the congregations associated with the BBF was planted within the last decade and the BBF currently supports 10 evangelists who work in conjunction with churches to conduct evangelism in cities and remote villages [Partners International: [http://www.partnersinternational.ca/pdfs/babfprofile.pdf Ministry Profile - Bangladesh] ] .
