In 1836 Baptist missionaries first came in North-East region. Nathan Brown, O'T Kattar and his wife stepped in the Brahmaputra valley with a mission to spreading & preaching Christianity in Assam towards the South-East Asia. The Baptist selected Sadia as the mission centre. The missionaries like Miles Bronson, U.W.Clerk started operation in spreading & preaching Christianity in some tribal populated areas of Assam. A few Karbis were initiated in Christianity a century ago. In 1885 Tung Krung Timung and Karabamon Engti fled for America along with a Baptist missionary. K. Engti returned to India while Tung Krung Timung did not. The successors of K. Engti have settled in Golaghat. In 1859 the Karbis, for the first time came in contact with Christianity. American Baptist Foreign Mission Society (ABFMS) sent C.F. Talman and his wife to Nagaon and its neighbouring areas for spreading and preaching Christianity among the tribals. The then Karbi Anglong was a dense forest inhabited by wild and dangerous animals. There was a terrible outbreak of malarial fever. They were attacked with malaria before operation.
