Ben and his wife Susie are co-founders of B2THEWORLD. An organization that helps serve some of the 520 million children who are impacted by war today.
Ben’s life was shaped by InterVarsity during his college years at Hobart. It was Urbana in 1996 where God began a deeper work in Ben’s life. Over the next two years on campus he was discipled by an IV regional campus staff member, Garrett. God used Garrett to help grow Ben in his understanding of God’s love and what living a life surrendered to God looks like.
This combined with a godly upbringing of his Malayalee , Indian immigrant parents, have shaped Ben’s life and focus on bringing God’s love to some of the hardest hit places in the world.
Ben played four years of college football at Hobart where he received his Bachelors in Economics. Ben and Susie met a few months after graduation and have been married for 25 years.
They have four kids. Sy a junior at UPenn, Talya a first year at UMich, Charlie a junior in HS and Annie a freshmen in high school.
They’ve served 10 years in Kigali, Rwanda, where Ben was the Director of the Kigali International Community School and Susie was a teacher. Ben earned his Doctor of Ministry in Global Christianity & Development from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and is an ordained minister.
Team Thomas has recently moved from Kigali and now make their home in a forest in the greater Philadelphia area.
Ben serves as CEO of B2THEWORLD where they currently serve children in Rwanda, Pakistan, South Sudan, Cameroon and Iraq.
