Founders
Rev. & Mrs. Thomas Jones from the Welsh Presbyterian Church arrived in the Khasi Hills on 22 June 1841. By 1901 there were over 15,000 Christians in this area. The Rev. D.E Jones began working among Mizo people in 1897, and a century later, over 85% of people in Mizoram were Christian.
Many other Presbyterian missionaries also served in India, for example Samuel H. Kellogg, translator of the Bible into Hindi.
