American Baptist Foreign Mission Society

The American Baptists were among the many overseas agencies catalogued in the National Christian Council's handbook of Christian work in India. In these sources their presence is documented as a directory entry rather than a narrative; the famous Telugu mission's founding details lie outside the provided histories and are left open in the timeline below rather than guessed at.

Here they are only a name on a register — like a ship logged as in port, its full voyage recorded in a book we were not given.

• Listed among the active mission bodies in the National Christian Council's mid-20th-century directory of Christian work in India
