Adoniram Judson

Adoniram Judson - American Baptist missionary who labored almost 40 years in Burma (now called Myanmar).

After his conversion to Baptist views on baptism, Judson's offer to Baptists in the United States to serve as their missionary resulted in the formation of the General Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States for Foreign Missions (commonly called the Triennial Convention) in 1814. Attitudes toward this convention and other auxiliaries would divide the Baptists in America.
