Beginning in 1923, both of Valson's grandfathers (Pastors K. E. Abraham & P. T. Chacko), his father (Pastor T. Stephen Abraham), and Valson have extensively preached, taught and trained others in India, greatly increasing Indian mission awareness and outreach. Through their work, Indian evangelists have planted more than 14,000 churches of various denominations in all states of India. Valson Abraham is actively involved in giving leadership to these churches.
