Mizoram Presbyterian Church - Founder

Founder

Mizoram Presbyterian Church was established and founded by a Welsh Missionary named Rev. D. E. Jones in 1897. The first missionary who came to Mizoram was Rev. William Williams (missionary), a Welsh missionary who at that time was a missionary in Khasi Hills, North East India (now Meghalaya). He came into Mizoram in 1891 and preached the Gospel among some of the villages. On January 11, 1894, F. W. Savidge and J. H. Lorrain, commissioned by Arthington Aborigines Mission, reached Mizoram. They stayed for four years. On August 31, 1897, Welsh Calvinistic Methodist's (later changed Presbyterian Church of Wales) missionary David Evan Jones set foot on Mizoram and founded the Church.
