Adversities can level stalwarts to
the ground. Adversities can change your whole game plan.
But a fighter is he who puts up a
brave front against matters that may even threaten to shoot him down in flames.
And in all my born days there is but one
person I have heard of and have seen who in order to fulfill his mission has stood
by the most tempestuous moments, tackled issues and cracked every nut. I am talking about a Seventh - day Adventist
leader who in pursuit of meeting his goals seemed to have executed perfect plan
that eventually accomplished dreams many may have had in their minds. Determination was strong, and his will big;
and to support the cause, he left no stones unturned. That’s why Spicer Memorial College today can
boast of one of enviably the grandest Seventh- day churches in the whole of
Asia standing in the campus.
The structure
has a capacity to accommodate close to 2,000 members. And it has been the pride of Spicer memorial
College ever since. It was not an easy task
though gathering funds to erect a magnificent house of prayer of this
stature. However, friends of Spicer
memorial College from around and abroad, and of course the ardent support from
believers and well-wishers equally have made it a success. Thanks to all the
supporters.
I am sure no
student at Spicer Memorial College would deny he or she loves hanging around
the attractive student’s Centre. Well thought, well planned, and an
apt-for-students structure. All this and
much more under the leadership of Dr. Justus Devadas has given a status of
pride.
And just
when Spicer Memorial College was flourishing and gaining popularity it got
ditched by the University of Pune. Spicer
was orphaned. And students soon had to
desert the campus. Campus appeared
desolate and bleak. Dreams began to fade
away of most of us. However, the
president didn’t back out in those testing times, and kept himself busy with
his imminent plans wishing to deem Spicer Memorial college a university on its
own. While Spicer Memorial College is on
the brink of attaining that status, the support from each praying member of the
church will make this another dream come true.
Well, a
person of grit as such should aptly be called an ‘iron man’. This humble steward of God who started his
own life with a tinge of humility today has become a mighty man of God. One needs not to tell of the tremendous
change Spicer memorial has gone through. Realize the transcendence Spicer
College is going through at present. Yes
and the iron man of Spicer is pitted for more changes to come by. One can already see a new building coming up
as a center for college of management. And
come 2015, this alma mater is gearing up for its centennial celebrations…
Let’s wait for
that grandeur moment.
