meet Saint Thomas the Apostle
“Unless I see the wounds, I will not believe.”
Discover the inspiring true story of the apostle who asked questions, traveled farther than any other disciple, and carried the Gospel all the way to India.
Most people know him as “Doubting Thomas.” But Saint Thomas the Apostle was much more than a man with questions. He was a loyal follower of Jesus, a courageous missionary, and one of the boldest apostles in Christian history.
After witnessing the death of Jesus, Thomas struggled to believe the incredible news of the Resurrection. But when he encountered the risen Christ for himself, everything changed. Filled with faith and courage, Thomas journeyed across deserts, mountains, and oceans to share the Gospel in lands far from home.
