He became a 'Pledge Collector' and mobilized support for missionary work. He mobilized 21 missionary sponsors during the last 2 years alone. He was an unstoppable personality. He took various teams to North India and challenged the laymen to take part in Indian Missions. He was a regular contributor towards missionary kids education, Mk's marriage and their emergency medical expenses. He initiated a plan to send birthday gifts to all missionary kids through the BYM unit of Tanjore. He was the BYM District Coordinator of Thanjavur for more than 20 years. Even before 3 days of his demise, he mobilized 5 lakhs for a Church construction in North India. His wife Mrs.Kavitha Ephraim and daughter Zibiah always stood alongside with him in his ministerial endeavours. He was regularly teaching the Bible with clarity in small groups and in many Churches. No wonder he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate in Theology last December, for his contributions in the field of Bible teaching. Even when he was diagnosed with Cancer three years back, his heart was always for the ministry. This solider of Christ fought his battles very bravely till the last breath of his life. He suffered a massive heart block and was operated upon. On April 8th he entered the eternal glory several days after the surgery. His life is worth emulating (2Ti 4:7,8). - E.L.Mathansingh (9444217616) Do not miss the revival messages that we air in the Sathiyam TV every Wednesday, 5.30am - 6.00am. |PAGE 12|
