The changing of the guards
Before being called to be president for the union in east Indonesia early 2008, Pastor Noldy Sakul manifested faithfulness to his duties and passion to his calling in the stewardship department. His life has always been a testimony to the never-ending grace of Christ towards a faithful steward.
