Pastor L.D. Paul and his dear wife together travelled extensively throughout the entire field and established an unbreakable bond between the laymen and the workers. Mrs. Rosie Paul supported her husband in his ministry and stood shoulder to shoulder in trying and difficult times. After 40 years of active service Pastor L.D. Paul retired in 1985 and ever since has been a guide and a mentor to Church leaders and the workers in the field.
Mrs. Rosie Paul born on May 4, 1926 passed away in her sleep on April 28,2006 after a brief illness. A decision was taken by the family to construct an edifice in her loving memory. A foundation stone was laid by Pastor L.D. Paul on July 20,2008 for the construction of this Seminary building which is a greater need for the growing work in Madhya Bharat Section field. This Seminary will enable our Volunteers from different areas to be trained and become better equipped to meet the challenges of evangelism.
The total expenditure to construct and furnish the Seminary building is approximately Rs 60 Lakhs. The facility includes

We express our sincere thanks and gratitude to the Trustees of the Rosie Paul Trust for their generosity and thoughtfulness to construct this Seminary building. We also express our thanks to the Union Leadership and the leadership at the Division for their kind support and guidance.
We Pray that the Lord be our guide us as we use our talents and resources for His Glory.
