The National Association for Mission Studies (NAMS) was established in 1984 during a conference held from December 25 to 28 at Christu Sishya Ashram, Thadagam, Coimbatore. It was founded by L.L. Dr. Geevarghese Mar Osthathios Metropolitan. The 50th conference, celebrating the silver jubilee, was also held at the same venue. In 2011, NAMS was renamed the International Association for Mission Studies (INAMS).
