For those of you, who like me, loved Dr. MA Thomas dearly but were unable to travel to India to attend his funeral, the following link is a ten-part video of the service.
What a wonderful, blessed occasion as hundreds of people, many from other religions, came to pay homage to such a gracious life. The crowd in attendance and the fond words of eulogy all testify to one of the most profound Christian witnesses of our era.
Dr. Samuel Thomas preaches a message to honor his father, and in it, shares the glorious Gospel. MA Thomas, who is known as “Papa” by thousands who once were orphans, would have it no other way.
Because he gave everything to the ministry, Dr. MA never owned a car, a home, or a bank account. In his will, Dr. Samuel found these words:
“To my son Samuel, my will for you is God’s will for you!”
Enjoy the home-going service of a life well-lived for the glory of the Lord!
