Greetings
Praise the Lord!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, respected church leaders, friends, and viewers around the world,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thank you for joining this special live broadcast.
Today, I am not here simply to introduce a book. I am here to invite you to become part of a historic mission that will preserve the Christian heritage of South Asia for future generations.

Why This Book?
After extensive research and prayer, we are preparing to publish a comprehensive historical work entitled:
"Two Thousand Years of Christianity in the Indian Subcontinent: From the Apostle Thomas to the Modern Era"
This book will present the story of Christianity across the Indian Subcontinent, including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar.
It will explore:
- The mission of the Apostle Thomas.
- The growth of the early Church.
- Christian missions and evangelism.
- Bible translation.
- Education and healthcare ministries.
- Social transformation.
- Religious freedom and contemporary challenges.
- The future of Christianity in South Asia.

Why Is This Research Important?
Many people know very little about the rich history of Christianity in our region.
They do not know:
- How Christianity first reached South Asia.
- The sacrifices made by early believers.
- The contribution of Christian missionaries.
- The role of Christian institutions in education, healthcare, and humanitarian service.
- How the Gospel has transformed countless lives.
This book seeks to preserve that history with academic integrity and biblical faithfulness.
