Hezekiah Taku's Story
I am 36 years old. My wif's name is Milcah Getty. We are both from
Guadalcanal Province. We have three children Marcus(10) Hazel
(7) and Manoah (5).
Since I come from a Christian family I was exposed to the Gospel
at an early age. My parents taught me a lot from the Bible, but
it was only after I was old enough to attend Sunday School that
I finally gave my life to the Lord. In1991, I made a public confession
of faith by undergoing the waters of baptism.
In 1998 I was employed by Gold Ridge Mining Ltd where I worked
as a Mining Operator for 3 years. The company shut down operations
in 2000 at the height of ethnic violence. The following year I enlisted
in the Royal Solomon Islands Police as a Special Constable, but
after a year and a half, the unit had to be disbanded on recommendations
by the UNDP. Nevertheless, God had other plans for me. I did some
theological studies through Alan Walker Bible College, Haggai Institute
and Denton Bible Church. I also served as a pastor and teacher in
our local South Sea Evangelical Church (SSEC). I did lots of ministry
among the youths, families and church through counselling, pastoral,
teaching and seminars.
The need for more Biblical training led me to CLTC. I am now in
my 2nd year of B. Th Studies(Bachelor of Theology). After completing
my studies l will return to Guadalcanal to serve as a pastor and
Bible teacher.
That is all
H Taku
