Ao Baptist Arogo Mungdang (ABAM) ("Ao Baptist Church Association") is the largest Baptist Association affiliated to the Nagaland Baptist Church Council, with over 163 full-fledged churches and 10 fellowships. As of 2016, the Association had 110,010 baptized members. History The Association was formed in 1897 with Impur (in Mokokchung district) of India as its headquarters so as to bind the Baptist Churches of the Ao tribe. The Aos, being the first Naga tribe to embrace Christianity in 1872, have played a pioneering role in every aspect of Naga life over the past century and half and so has the ABAM which was instrumental in spreading the Baptist faith to the rest of the Nagas with the result that 90% of present-day Nagaland population is Christian with 80% professing the Baptist faith. The Revival fire that swept through the whole of Nagaland in the 1970s had its origin in Ao Baptist Churches. Present day ABAM Ao Baptist Arogo Mundang, particularly its women's wing, were the most vociferous in their support of making Nagaland a dry state, which was successful in 1989. Today, ABAM has the largest of Nagaland's churches under its affiliation, of which the largest three are Mokokchung Town Ao Baptist Arogo, Kohima Ao Baptist Arogo and Dimapur Ao Baptist Arogo. Rev. Mar Atsongchanger is the present Executive Secretary of the Association. The Association is a major sponsor of mission fields across South Asia with major emphasis on Karbi areas and Arunachal Pradesh. Mission fields have been set up in India, Nepal, Myanmar, and China.
