The character and effectiveness of any Christian organization are directly related to the quality of its leadership. Scripture therefore places great emphasis on godly overseers and clearly defines the standards by which those who serve in such roles are to be evaluated.

At The Gate Ministries, we are committed to following the pattern established in the New Testament. We thank the Lord for the qualified and faithful men whom He has appointed to provide pastoral care and administrative oversight to our fellowship groups.

The Gate Ministries is affiliated with and spiritually supported by Columbus Bible Church, Ohio, USA. We give thanks to the Lord for this well-established and blessed church, whose spiritual and doctrinal support and guidance have been invaluable to our ministry. Pastor David W. Reid serves as the Patron of The Gate Ministries, and we are grateful for his counsel and encouragement in the work of the gospel.

Both Rithu and Ashish have completed their undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs in the United Kingdom and have since returned to the Middle East for their professional assignments.

The Gate Ministries serves as the primary platform through which Thomas and his family pursue their missionary calling. Their initial focus includes local church gatherings, Bible teaching classes, YouTube ministry, leadership training programs, television outreach, tract ministry, and other avenues aimed at spreading the gospel and grounding believers in the truth of God’s Word, rightly divided. Operating from its base in Kottayam, Kerala, The Gate Ministries presently reaches across nine (9) states and ministers in eight languages, extending to Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, West Bengal, Jammu & Kashmir, Goa and Nepal.
