In 52 A.D., the Apostle Thomas came to India to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. This led to the formation of Christian churches throughout several Indian states. Immigrants founded those churches in America, leading to the creation of Mar Thoma churches and other Indian Christian churches throughout the United States. 

As the children of Indian immigrants grew up, the second-generation Indian American church and multiethnic churches began to percolate. Pastor Thomas is one of those second-generation Indian American church planters. In a conversation with SOLA Network’s Steve Chang, he talks about the history of Christianity in India, the Indian American church, and the power of the Indian diaspora. He also talks about the Advance Initiative, of which he is a co-founder, whose mission is to catalyze a global movement of gospel-centered multiethnic churches planted by or among Indians.
