Scope and content
Committee meeting minutes, evangelism record books, correspondence, and miscellaneous materials pertaining to American Mennonite Mission's efforts to convert Hindu and Muslim Indians to Christianity. Meeting minutes generally do not discuss overall mission strategy, but focus on the assignments, performance, and financial compensation of Indian evangelists, The evangelism record books provide in-depth accounts of preaching and books distributed to various villages. Researchers should be aware, however, that these record books are in Hindi. Also of interest in this series are the records pertaining to the Bible Women, who evangelized on behalf of the Mennonite mission. Mennonite missionaries' evaluations of the Bible Women are in English, while the Bible Women's evangelism records are in Hindi.
