INDIA BAPTIST WOMEN’S UNION

(Affiliated to Asia Baptist Women’s Union & Baptist World Alliance Women’s Department)

India is a land of diversities in all facts of life, caste, colour, creed, tradition, culture and languages. Out of the diversity resurrected unity when a group of prayerful dedicated, Godly women from some Regional Baptist Women Convention saw a vision for oneness among Baptist women of India. In 1959, under the leadership of Miss. Mercy Jayaraja Rao, a group of Baptist women came together in Creg Memorial Baptist Church, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh, India and formed India Baptist Women’s Fellowship (later named as India Baptist Women’s Union). Today it is now a registered body.
