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 [1] under the auspices of the New Zealand Baptist Mission.[2] The BBF is today the largest Baptist body in Bangladesh.[3]
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.[4]
