A Life Worth Lived
Mrs. Elizabeth Kanthi, w/o late Rev.A.S.Kanthi
(1920-1990), who was fondly called as 'Salomakka' in
Hubli was transferred to glory on 31st August 2018 at the
age of 87. She was the dear mother of our missionary
Ruth Manivannan. We praise God for her exemplary life
and ministry. As a Pastor's wife she was an ardent
supporter of her husband. Most of their service was in
rural North Karnataka. She retired as a Nursing
Superintendent from Karnataka Medical College
Hospital at Hubbali. She received the 'Best Nurse' award.
Her sincerity, dedication and discipline were much
appreciated in her department as well as in the society.
She did her best to get the medical help to our field
missionaries and believers.
Her love for the missionaries can never be over-
emphasised. She was an ardent fund raiser for the
Mission. Her house was an open house. She was like a
mother to all our missionaries in Karnataka. She
regularly prayed for the missionaries and kids.
After her retirement, reading the Bible and praying
for more than half a day was her regular practice. She had
the honor of dedicating our renovated worship-shed at
Nagarahalli near Alnavar in Karnataka. She also had the
honor of dedicating Bro. Stanley's book, 'Bible Treasure'
in Kannada at Hubli just an year before her home call.
All her five children, 3 boys and 2 girls are in
fulltime Christian ministry. Her eldest grand-daughter is
serving as a Missionary Doctor in Uttar Pradesh. Thank
God for her life of inspiration. What a legacy and a multi-
generational vision!
