North Burma Christian Mission — Organization Profile
North Burma Christian Mission, also known as NBCM, is a Christian mission organization with roots reaching back to 1921. Its current public materials describe the ministry as a mission movement serving Southeast Asia through evangelism, discipleship, church planting, Bible training, literature, media, music, youth homes, community development, and deaf ministry. The organization’s stated vision is that millions in Asia would be eternally influenced for Christ through multiple outreach ministries.
The mission has a U.S. home-office mailing contact in Ponca City, Oklahoma, while its field work is centered in Thailand and broader Southeast Asia. The ministry’s history began with J. Russell and Gertrude Morse serving in Tibet and China, continued into Burma in the early 1950s, and later relocated to Thailand in 1972. Today, NBCM describes its work as extending across multiple countries, languages, and people groups in Asia.
NBCM operates through a team of missionaries and national coworkers. Its evangelistic work includes partnering with committed national preachers to evangelize, disciple, and plant churches among tribal and local people groups. Leadership training is another core area, with Bible training courses and Bible schools serving church leaders and members across many ethnicities and languages.
The mission also supports Christian literature and media in minority languages. Its literature department in Thailand translates, designs, and prepares Bibles, hymnbooks, and other Christian materials for more than a dozen people groups. Its media and music ministries create sermons, dramas, testimonies, Christian programs, hymnbooks, music recordings, and videos that can be shared through social media and local distribution channels.
NBCM’s holistic work includes youth homes, community development, business as mission, and deaf ministry. Youth homes provide safe housing during the school year so tribal children can receive formal education while remaining connected to Christian values and their cultural identity. Development work includes agriculture, infrastructure, health and sanitation, water projects, education, church planting, and relief assistance. Deaf ministry has included churches started in Chiang Mai that are now led by local leaders.
People can engage with North Burma Christian Mission by praying for the work, subscribing to missionary newsletters, supporting individual missionaries, giving by check to the general mission fund, and learning about specific field ministries through the mission team pages. Its distinct contribution is long-term, multi-generational Christian mission work among tribal and local communities in Southeast Asia, combining Gospel proclamation with leadership training, local-language resources, and practical community care.

Asian Children’s Mission — Organization Profile
Asian Children’s Mission is a Christian nonprofit ministry focused on caring for, protecting, and educating vulnerable children of Myanmar in the name of Jesus Christ. Commonly known as ACM, the ministry practices holistic Christian ministry, intentionally addressing both spiritual and physical needs through education, children’s homes, emergency aid, community development, and evangelism.
ACM is based in Ellettsville, Indiana, and serves children, families, churches, and communities in Myanmar, also known as Burma. The ministry’s work is carried out through native Myanmar staff members who lead programs in local contexts. ACM notes that Myanmar includes many ethnic people groups and that poverty is especially severe in remote areas. Its ministry also responds to displacement and instability connected to Myanmar’s civil conflict.
The organization began after its founder visited Myanmar in 2007 and committed to help open a home for children without a safe place to live. That children’s home opened in 2008 and remains part of ACM’s work. Since then, the ministry has expanded beyond orphan care into schools, relief operations, community development projects, and churches. ACM states that it now supports staff members in Myanmar who facilitate these efforts locally.
Education is a central part of ACM’s strategy. The ministry supports preschools, elementary education, and Joshua School, a program serving children with special needs in Myanmar. Its education work includes instruction for children from pre-K through high school and beyond, with particular concern for women and children facing poverty or limited opportunity. ACM also supports teachers who serve in remote areas and communities where educational access is limited.
ACM’s community development work includes the Samaritan Practical School of Nursing, Myanmar Community Development Center, Community Health Evangelism, vocational training, health clinic work, farm projects, and evangelist training. These programs are designed to strengthen families and communities so children can be fed, protected, educated, and discipled within healthier local environments. Vocational training includes practical skills such as computer classes, sign making, engine repair, sewing, chicken farming, English classes, construction, painting, and restaurant internships.
The ministry also engages in emergency aid, refugee resettlement support, and evangelism. ACM has assisted internally displaced people through food, bamboo homes, schools, churches, and gospel-centered encouragement. People can engage with Asian Children’s Mission by praying, giving one-time or recurring gifts, following ministry updates, contacting the board, or supporting education, orphan care, community development, emergency relief, and evangelism among vulnerable children and families in Myanmar.
