 PRAISE THE LORD
“HOWEVER, I CONSIDER MY LIFE WORTH NOTHING TO ME, IF ONLY I MAY FINISH THE RACE AND COMPLETE THE TASK THE LORD JESUS HAS GIVEN ME-THE TASK OF TESTIFYING TO THE GOSPEL OF GOD’S GRACE”ACTS-20:24.
Being born as a marthomite in Aiyroor,Pathanamthitta, I had the privilege of accepting the Lord Jesus Christ in Gudalur, Tamilnadu in the year 1961 and hence obeying Him in the waters of Baptism in 1963. I had the opportunity to meet Mr.A.T.Mathew who is the evangelist of the brethren assembly in Gudalur and is also a blessed servant of the Lord, thus helping me to grow in the Lord by learning the word from him. From the time, I came into the fellowship I was able to testify the truth and had a very strong vision about the gospel. With the knowledge of the assembly, I was able to study in two bible schools. When I had the strong call for the full time ministry, I introduced it to the assembly who then commended me wholeheartedly. In 1970 with the will of God I got married to Elsy, my wife who belonged to Nellikundu assembly, Thrissur. With the great  assurance and leading of the Lord, I then proceeded to do full time ministry in Tellicherry, Malabar on September 27th 1970, having the full back up of the assembly. Since the last 36 yrs,I was used by the Lord to spread the gospel in Tellicherry and the surrounding places in Kannur district. With the great grace of God, it was made possible to establish a local assembly in Tellicherry which has a majority of Hindus and Muslim residents. Not only in Tellicherry but the Lord also used me to establish a few assemblies in the surrounding regions. With the great blessing of the Lord, the Lord used me to edify certain youth believers from the assemblies by teaching them the word thoroughly, who are at present evangelists of various assemblies and are active in their own spheres. Looking back at the gone years, I give glory to my Lord. I take great honour in testifying that I was brutally attacked as a part of the preaching the gospel. It was in Dec.31st, 2000, Sunday, when four men in masks who were contradictors of the gospel came and attacked me in the assembly hall during the watch night service. God in His mercy heard the prayers of all His people and redeemed me from the clutches of death.
We have been blessed as a family with three children-one son and two daughters. All three children are born again, baptised and in the fellowship of the assembly. My son Solomon Thomas with family is currently residing in Liverpool, UK. It was in his house that the first Malayalam gathering started in Liverpool. We are now in UK on a short visit to our son in Liverpool. God willingly we will be flying back to India on Jan.9th, 2007. We are extending our heartfelt gratitude to all the brethren who have remembered us as a family in your prayers. Kindly do continue to remember Tellicherry’s spiritual activities and us in your prayers. K.N.Thomas
