Pu Thuam Hang, chief of Khuasak, was the first Christian convert among the Zomi (Chin) in Chin State, Burma.
Reverend R.E Carlson and Mrs. Laura Carlson, Swedish-American Baptist missionaries, came to Hakha, Chin State, Burma, in 1899. This couple sent a Kayin pastor named Saya Shwe Zan to Khuasak, to preach about Christianity, as they had heard that the Sizang people could understand the Burmese language. Pu Thuam Hang wished to convert to Christianity in 1903 but could not, due to lack of ordained pastors. Dr. East baptized Pu Thuam Hang and Thuam Hang's wife on May 15, 1905 along with Pu Pau Suan.
