The meaning of words Isa-e and Jamat are followers of Jesus Christ and Gathering or Church respectively.

In Bangladesh, if someone become keenly desirous to follow the command of Jesus as mentioned in Mathew 28:19–20, "you, therefore, must go out, making disciples of all nations, and baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all the commandments which I have given you", he/she must will have to emphasis on the culture of the majority group people, that is, on the culture of the Muslim community. In around 1600 century, Gospel was first preached in this region, and since then, both of Catholics and Protestants are practicing the religious devotion either according to the European culture or Hindu culture or according to a mixed culture of those two. Till today, none of those Churches are practicing the religious devotion according to the Muslim culture or tradition. As a result, from the very beginning of Christianity established in this region, the Muslim converts faced a disagreeable! Cultural problem and we think this was a major barricade behind conversion of Muslim people into Christianity.

Imam Abdul Mabud Chowdhury is the founder Chairman of Isa-e Jamat Bangladesh. He accepted Jesus as his savior in 1985 and since then he faced so strong a cultural barrier that he had no easy access in the arena of the traditional Christians’ society. He realized this sorrowful fact with his heart and soul. So, by the grace of Almighty God on 2nd September 1999, the converts from Muslim background established Isa-e Jamat, we kept this reality in our mind to make a platform where the new believers can stand firmly. Therefore, Isa-e Jamat can be regarded as the Jamat or the Church in this region which is more or less based on the culture of the majority group people of this region and was established directly by the Muslim converts.
