Thomas and Cathy are well known in the world of Gospel Music, recording seven albums over fifteen years. Many of their songs have been played nationally. Three of these songs, "Riches Won't Hold Me," "Sweet Victory," and "The God Of Me And You" reached the top fifty on the charts of The Singing News and The Gospel Voice magazines.
In 1994, Thomas surrendered to the call to preach and along with his wife Cathy founded Omega Christian Center in Lumberton, NC. During their seven years of pastoring they had many accomplishments, including helping missionaries in the Dominican Republic establish and build churches and the first Christian school in the city of Le Vega.
In 2001, Thomas and Cathy traveled as associates with Dr. Mike Murdock. This season of mentorship was valuable in preparing them to fulfill the call on their lives to train the church body to pursue their purpose.
