Thomas was born to Kurien Thomas and Annamma Thomas on 2 November 1948. In his autobiography, Kurien Thomas mentions the events surrounding Matthew's birth:
On the 2nd of November, 1948, our second son was born. He was delivered in the house attended by a village midwife. One of the believers, a sister, was also present. She told me that according to the custom of the place, as soon as the child was born, the midwife should be given a gift of some kind. I did not have even one penny to my name; what could I give her? I went outside and began pacing up and down in the courtyard. I prayed earnestly: "Lord, please let me not be ashamed before this Hindu woman. Give me something I can give to her." I was still praying when the postman came with a money order for ten rupees. As I received the money the baby was born. At once I put a few rupees into the midwife's hand. I can't help thinking that God had a quartz timepiece long before man had one, because He is always on time.
Matthew grew up in Itarsi and went on to Sagar University where he finished his M.Sc. in Zoology. He then began to teach in a College in Hoshangabad for sometime, before leaving India for the United States. On the 2nd of March 1974, Matthew was married to Aleyamma who was also working as nurse in America. Matthew became successful as a businessman in US, but sooner realized that he was called to ministry in India.
