About Us

Our History

Witness Ministries first began as the youth group of Zion Baptist Church. It was founded in August 27, 2009 by Joshua Das, Stephen Rupon, Mukta Tripura, Jason Sharma, Priyo Khyang, Smriti Tripura and Nathaniel Biswas. Under the guidance and supervision of the church leadership, Pastor Jewel Mazumder, presided the meeting and the youths were elected and recommended wholeheartedly by Zion Baptist Church to lead the youth ministry in its initial year. Over the years the executive leadership had changes as people left and new people were elected each year.

As Witness Ministries grew, developed and increased its influence it was agreed by the advisors and the church body that it would be best to make Witness Ministries independent.  After many thoughtful prayers, discussions and meetings, Witness Ministries was made independent in January 27, 2012 although it continued to have affiliation with Zion Baptist Church of Chittagong and the Baptist denomination. Formally, on June 3, 2018 Witness Ministries was registered with the Bangladesh government as a separate entity as a religious, charitable, and social oriented trust.

We marvel how the ministry has grown and prospered. Today, Witness Ministries is a proud Christian mission organization working under the guidance of an advisory board. Witness Ministries has staff located in a number of countries. These have all been possible because of Christ and His grace upon us. As we look back we praise Him for all He has done and we exclaim “The Best is Yet to Come!”

 

Our Mission

Our mission is the Great Commission as Jesus had commanded, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” After all, this is His will, this is His command and this is His call for us. We share the love of Christ anywhere He calls us to. We follow His words as it says in Acts 1:8 “...and you will be my witnesses...and...to the ends of the earth.” Inspired by this verse this remains our theme verse and our theme motto “Serving God at any cost.”

Our Vision

Our vision is to see the future youths of our global world working together as one to advance Christ and His kingdom. We await to see a world where lives will be transformed by the love of Christ among all people groups as it says in Philippians 2:10 “So that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth.”
