One evidence to prove his preaching Christianity in the Pandian kingdom is the building of a church in Kurumbur Azhagappapuram in honour of [[Vincent Ferrer|St. Vincent Ferrer]] (Visenthiyppar), a [[Dominican Order|Dominican]]. In that church we can find a statue of St. Vincent Ferrer placed by Friar Jordan. At that time the Christians of Kanakkan Kudieruppu had migrated to the fertile land north of Maanaveeranaadu and south of [[Thamirabarani River]]. That is why Friar Jordan had to build the church of St. Vincent Ferrer in Kurumbur.<br />
