The Last American Baptist Missionaries To Burma 1946-1966

By Neil Sowards and May Pearl Cartee

This book was inspired by the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the arrival of Ann and Adoniram Judson to Burma in 1813. As I thought about what I could do to contribute to the celebration, I remembered that over 1,000 American Baptist missionaries served in Burma from 1813 to 1966. In this latter year, 1966, the Burma government asked all foreigners to leave, including missionaries. My parents were missionaries to Burma 1921 to 1966 (with breaks) and retired one month before the final month. So I had a warm place in my heart for all the missionaries who had served in Burma. Now, Burma is officially called Myanmar; however, since this book is about the time when it was still called Burma, we are using that name throughout the book.
