HISTORY |
|
| |

|

Independent Baptist Ministries of India was founded by the late
Dr. K. C. Thomas in 1968. Dr. Thomas was born and raised in a Christian
home and faithfully attended church. He received Jesus Christ as
his personal Saviour at the age of 18. |

He married his lovely wife, Thankamma,
in May 1st, 1958. Together and through the Lord's mercy and
grace they raised four children, two sons and two daughters.
After his salvation, Dr. Thomas
changed dramatically. God began to work in his life and called
him into the full-time ministry. He went from the athletic
fields to the mission field; while his dedication to preach
the Gospel of Jesus Christ brought much opposition, his
heartfelt concern was for the perishing souls of India. |

With strong faith and commitment, Dr. Thomas entered the ministry
with his wife and his children. Having graduated from a Bible
institute in India, he traveled to the United States for further
theological training. He studied at Garland Bible College, Texas
and then at Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Missouri.
Returned to India in 1968, Dr. Thomas founded the Independent Baptist
Ministries of India with three families and a rented house. From
these humble beginnings and through unwavering faith in God, The
Independent Baptist Ministries of India has flourished with scores
of independent, fundamental, Bible-believing, Baptist churches,
Bible Colleges and Institutions, and various other ministries with
the soul purpose of " Reaching the Unreached
with the Gospel of Christ. "
Having completed what was entrusted unto him by the Lord, Dr.
K.C. Thomas was promoted to Heaven on October 6th, 1994. He passed
on the work to his two sons, Sam Thomas (President) and
Paul Thomas (Vice President). Under their able direction with
the help of others, the work is progressing in fulfillment of
Revelation 14:13.
