William Carrey has been called, "The father of modern missions" especially for Indian, who changed not only India
but exemplarily and done great things for the world. He was sent by the
American Baptist mission as he was a member. This career constituted an
epoch indeed. His founded serampore senate and by his own handiwork
translated the Bible into various languages including Manipuri's Bible.
The founding of the Baptist Missionary society marked the beginning of
a new era in the history of the protestant church and other societies
followed in quick successions. The famous London Missionary society, at
first interdenominational but now mostly congregational, was founded in
1795. Two years later the Netherlands Missionary society was organized
on the continent. The great church missionary society, the missionary
arm of the Church of England came into existence in 1799. The British
and Foreign Bible society was founded in 1804, under this society
various tribal languages was printed the Bible. Hitherto and
Christendom stated, "Now  we
must transfer the point of vision to non-Christian lands, and present
in order the general facts and features of the different missionary
lands and the beginnings and progress of gospel work within them." The facts connected with the
research and ushering in of their new period make India our natural starting point
