Hundreds of people bought Christian resources and attended concerts in South India earlier this month during the Christian Expo in Thiruvalla, Kerala, according to organizers.

Held Dec. 3-9, the 20th annual event—sponsored by C.V. Vadavana, publisher of Sathyam Ministries and general secretary of Christian Trade Association India—featured 400 booths, a Bible exhibition, concerts, sacred dance, poetry, a film festival, children's carnival and displays highlighting Christian publishing.

"We were pleased to have participation from many denominations, churches, publishers and mission organizations," Vadavana said.

The Rt. Rev. Philipose Mar Chrysostum, senior metropolitan bishop of the Mar Thoma Church, which tradition says was founded by the Apostle Thomas, opened the event.

Christian publishing was featured prominently during the event, which drew B&H Publishing Group, The Bible Society of India, Evangelical Literature Service, OM Books International and among many publishers.

Authors who attended the Christian Expo included Vishal Mangalwadi (The Book That Made Your World: How the Bible Created the Soul of Western Civilization, Thomas Nelson) and Mathews Vergis, who published The Christian Walk Study Bible in India.
