Fundamental Baptist World-Wide Mission (FBWWM) was founded in 1985 by Dr. Ernest Gambrell in partnership with Thrifthaven Baptist Church in Memphis, TN. The mission moved to Elkton, Maryland, for a few years and returned to Memphis in 1995 as a ministry of East Side Baptist Church under Dr. Teddy Steele. In 2024, Dr. Gambrell retired, and Dr. Harry Peart was appointed the second General Director of the mission. Today, FBWWM continues serving local churches as they send missionaries worldwide to fulfill the Great Commission.
