For the 2009-10 academic year, we welcome Ashang Lolly, a second-year seminarian from ABSW as our Minister-in-Training. Born in a Christian family, Ashang graduated from Patkai Christian College in Nagaland, located in Northeast India. He was baptized at the Kachai Baptist Church in 1998. Ashang has counseled youth in HIV/AIDS education and ministered to HIV positive pregnant women and their babies. As the MIT at our church, Ashang will learn from our children and youth ministry programs. He will assist in worship and have opportunities to preach. He is interested in outreach ministry as well as sports. As a “teaching church” for emerging new ministers, we welcome Ashang to our church and pray that his year with us will be filled with growth and new insights!
