Report by trainee Solomon (from Orissa)
Jun 15th
Solomon Ekka
Solomon Ekka is a 23 year old lad from Orissa, part of Giji and Binny’s outreach work there. He came down to Mumbai at the start of the year for a short period to get trained under the church leadership and get strengthened to go back and help the work in Orissa pick up pace. He has been doing a number of activities in the church from helping with the PA, to visiting people and from doing the bulletin to helping with the website. This talented young man with an M.Sc in Microbiology to his name, further plans to pursue his PhD but he is sure about one thing : He wants to serve God! As Franco has been training him over the past 5 months, we hope that he is able to entwine his talents and studies with the Lord’s work and bring greater glory to Him in the godless land of Orissa. Following is a short account on his stay in Mumbai:
“Mumbai is a diverse city and it was encouraging to see so many cultures live together in apparent harmony. I’ve been on the run in terms of activities since the day I got here. In the first week itself I was sent to the Leadership training in Nashik where I got to learn from the lives of many leaders like Inder & Praveen Darole. These four months have been hectic in terms of the things I’ve done and learnt. I assure you the time has been well spent. The leaders made sure of it!
“Franco encouraged me a lot to understand the principles of planning, managing my time & resources well. It is a cool thing to have a motivator like him in the Church. I always liked his way of presenting things. He preaches a sermon in a very efficient way that breaks all barriers and touches hearts.
“There are many people I would like to thank, but I was told to keep it short, So in finishing I would like to thank all the leaders and friends who have interacted with me in whatever small or big way. May God bless you all abundantly!” – by Solomon
