Thomas Michael Hieber is a German who has a passionate Father's heart for the South Asian people. After completing secondary education in Germany he got a degree in Business and worked for about 12 years in business and sales promotion at his uncle's company in Germany. During that time, he was involved in missions in our church, youth ministry and served as an elder in the same church. During a mission’s conference in Germany on the unreached peoples groups in the world, Thomas sensed God’s calling for fulltime ministry amongst the unreached. At the age of 31, Thomas and his family left Germany for further studies in the UK. A 5-month language course in English, followed by a 3-month short-term ministry trip to Zambia prepared him for his college entry. From 1993 -1995 he did a 2 year course at the All Nations Christian College (ANCC) in Heartfordshire UK, from where he graduated with a Diploma in Biblical and Cross Cultural Studies. A further Internship with a multi-cultural church in London as well as several courses with South Asian Concern (SAC) prepared him for his ministry in Kenya amongst the South Asia community. After joining Africa Inland Mission International (AIM) in 1996, Thomas and his family came to Nairobi in 1997 where he started a ministry together with another couple from AIM called ' South Asian Outreach'. His involvement in this ministry was mainly developing training material, prayer guides, research, as well as training of lay people, theological students and churches for Asians ministry. He was also involved in friendship evangelism with out Indian friends. Over the last 3 years, he was able to visit several African countries and do a survey on the South Asian communities. The aim was to get reports of possible opportunities to organizations that are concerned about the South Asian Diaspora. With information people can pray and prepare to go to Africa. Out of this research and other publications, a booklet developed called ‘ 30 days of Prayer Focus on Asians in Africa’ Another vision is to help facilitating networks with other like minded organizations and partners that want to reach out to the South Asian community in the Diaspora or to unreached people groups. Thomas would like to connect people and ministries together for the purpose of networking, sharing of ideas, resources as well as prayer. In 2006, Thomas and his family moved back to Germany for various family reasons. Since November 2006, they live in Berlin and work with INTERSERVE Europe. Like in Africa we want to research the German and European South Asian scene. It is Thomas Hieber's hope and prayer that, as more information is made available on the South Asian Diaspora on mainland Europe, people around the World will start praying and God will send workers to come to Europe to help. I also would like to give the churches in Germany a vision for their neighbors, who have come from many parts of the world including India. I want to be an advocate for the Unreached People Groups, especially from South Asia.
