The Adoniram Judson Heritage Foundation (AJHF) is a U.S. based nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the legacy of Adoniram Judson, the first American missionary to Asia and
a lasting role model for Christian missions.
Our key role is to safeguard Judson’s birthplace home as a historic museum and education center—managing daily operations and long-term planning of the Judson Heritage Center to ensure its cultural and educational value is shared with the present and preserved for future generations.
AJHF also supports initiatives that continue his work in Myanmar and beyond, including humanitarian aid, education, woman empowerment, cultural preservation, and Christian literature translation, continuing Judson’s impact and strengthening connections across global Christian communities.

Vision Statement

Why it matters
Adoniram Judson (1788–1850) was a trailblazing missionary to Burma (Myanmar) and the first American to be commissioned by a foreign mission board. His life and work inspired generations of missionaries and helped lay the foundation of the modern missionary movement.
