Well being inspired by Don grey's question of Catholic Turkics I apply the same to a greater conversion of Central Asians to Nestorian Christanity. Working along with the Great Man Theory, I will introduce a non-OTL figure who will lead to a interest religious TL. Hopefully.

"In the history of man, it is highly praised when the underdog against all odds succeeds against his stronger foes. Think of Cyrus the Great against the Median Empire, think of the Greeks against the Persians, think of the Trojans founding Rome, think of nomadic barbarians that would be the Huns, and think of Christanity from the persecution of Jesus to the widespread nature of the religion today. For it is from the smallest embers that a great wildfire can destroy forests and cities. In the history of the Church of the East and the role of Saint Ayden the Rock..."
-The Rock of the East, The Life of Saint Ayden

Some would say events that lead up to the grander of Saint Ayden started earlier with the teachings of Nestorius as well as the many background politics and social growth of his doctrine as it spread throughout Mesopotamia and into Persia along with fighting both the established Church of Constantinople and the Magi of Persia. The true beginning is with the Roman Emperor Zeno's declaration of closing the School of Edessa which would lead to a exodus of followers of the Church of the East and those unwilling to compromise with the Orthodox Church to head eastward into Byzantinum's rival of Sassanid Persia. It is also the supposed date of the birth of Ayden, the legend going that when Zeno's delcaration was heard in the church that Ayden's mother was giving birth in, the babe was born and the first thing heard was his cries.

True or not, it is ten years later when a young boy by the name of Ayden is enrolled in a semenary in Gundeshapar, in the heartland of Persia. His parents are as much a mystery as his birthdate as accounts appear to indicate he did not wish to talk about his own birth or who his father and was very hesitant to do so if ever he did. It is possible he may have been a child of one of the priests, maybe even the Patriarch Babai while others say his father was a carpenter or tradesmen which are neglected given the alluded nature to the role of Christ as a carpenter. Nonetheless he is noted for his habit to ask questions and his beligerant faith as well as to argue with his superiors. Which naturally by the age of twenty get him sent off as a missionary to the outlying bishoprics in Bactria in 509.

If hindsight was given to the unknown priest that ordered him into the area beyond even Persia one has to wonder if he would have sent the young priest there in the first place. For what does not kill a man only makes it stronger, and it is supposed that this principle applies to ideas as well.
