Adoniram Judson, Sr. (1788 – 1850) is remembered as the first significant missionary, as well as one of the order group of the very first missionaries from America to travel overseas. He labored for almost forty years in Burma (now known as Myanmar). At the age of 25, Judson was the first Protestant missionary sent from North America to preach in Burma. His mission and work led to the formation of the first Baptist association in America, inspired many Americans to become or support missionaries, translated the Bible into Burmese, and established a number of Baptist churches in Burma.
