The Borneo Evangelical Mission is a Protestant Evangelical Christian missionary society that worked among the people of Borneo, Malaysia. It was founded in October 1928 by three Australian missionaries, Hudson Southwell (Baptist), Frank Davidson (Anglican) and Carey Tolley (Church of the Brethren). In 1975 the BEM merged with Overseas Missionary Fellowship (formerly the China Inland Mission).
