Simi, would you just share maybe like five minutes or so of your story about how you came to know Jesus and choose to follow him and then how that led you into serving him in ministry, in his church, whatever you want to share about your part of that story that your family began generations ago, it sounds like.

Yeah.

So as Pastor Naomi alluded to, so I grew up, I was born in Kerala, India, which is a Southern state in India.

And it's actually where Thomas, the disciple came with the gospel message.

And so I have no idea how he ended up at the tip of India, but I'm grateful that he came to my state.

And at that time he would share the gospel and people would convert and he would build churches and then go on to the next village.

And history tells us that he built about seven and a half churches in Kerala before he was martyred.
