Eade, Malcolm J. (Paddy)

c.1909-1989. Brother of Bun Eade, Paddy Eade had a pastorate at Berhampore Baptist Church 1932-1933 prior to N.Z.B.M.S. missionary service in India 1934-1967. Initially based in Muslim East Bengal, he, along with Harry Jones, secured permission for N.Z.B.M.S. to work in the previously closed Tripura State. Thereafter his main work was in Tripura, particularly in encouraging church planting and in running short-term Bible schools, something that later developed into a more permanent Bible school, based at the state capital, Agartala. After his return to N.Z. he pastored Brooklyn Baptist Church and served as President of the Baptist Union 1967-1968. He was also involved in chairing CORSO Aid and in refugee resettlement.
