We lost a man with a global heart. Short in height and
small in size, yet Rev Pudaite has a vision encompassing the whole world,
trying to reach the unreachable through his project BIBLES FOR
THE WORLD. I could not forget the short time I worked as one of
the members of his EDUCATION BOARD in the Partnership Mission Society, India. May the good works he had done for the world and
his people in particular continue to make our lives sublime!

Prayers with your family at this difficult time. I do feel compelled
to say how much you look like your Father. He was an excellent human
being from what I know and lived a long a wonderful life. Again my condolences at your loss however, he is still here in you and Christ Almighty.

Thinking back to my first month in India and remembering
Dr. Ro, founder of the ministry we worked with. Dr. Ro passed away
a few days ago but Ill never forget what I learned from him in India that month. He taught me the impact that one person can have if
they choose to say yes. He transformed a tribe of head hunters into
an almost entirely Christian community and founded several ministries
13

around the world. Thank you, Dr. Ro for saying yes and teaching me
one of the most valuable lessons Ive learned this year.

May God protect your family in your absence. May all have the strength
to bear the untimely death of our beloved leader. Jai Hind!

Reminiscence - An extraordinary manand a chosen of God,Rev.
(Dr.) Rochunga Pudaite, who, despite all obstacles followed Gods calling
trusting God in all circumstances. He was indeed a heart hunter as he
truely called himself in an interview with Dr. Bob Pierce on his journey
to fulfilling his dreams. He had a big heart that feel all nations. His Creator must have been well pleased with him.A chosen generation are we
14

to have celebrated a dynamic and Godly leader like him. And though he
is with us no more, he has left us his treasurable footprints, prominent
and clear enough for generations to come. May his soul rest in peace!

Goodbye Dr. Pudaite
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
20

Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

A leader of the finest quality, a visionary whose inspirations
will continue to live in perpetuity, an educationist and a reformer who
brought the torch of education to light up the darkness of ignorance that
enveloped the hills and villages of our beloved land. Reforms the society
and its associated structures with zeal and passion through display of
mighty faith and vision rooted in the obedience of his God whom he
loved more than anything!

A great orator and writer who speaks and write equally pursuasively with great confidence that always stems from his love for his God.
An oustanding diplomat for the Gospel he abide with till the end. The
void he left behind will be truely hard to fill in as much as to the standard
he has had built. May his legacy continue to live and inspire generations
upon generations to come. Salute to Rev (Dr) Rochunga Pudaite, the
hero whose dreams and vision made it possible for others to dream and
vision.

When I heard that Reverend Rochunga passed away, I was saddened. And still yet, I cherished what he had done for the Hmar community, in those faithful 88 years serving God. I recall a movie that
was made about him, called Beyond The Next Mountain. I received the
movie from a friend, here in the states. It is hard to accept that he is
indeed Beyond The Next Mountain, having passed into an eternal and
much deserved place in Heaven. I cannot adequately fathom or convey
the extent of his legacy, and all the hard work he has done to glorify
God, but what I can do is say that he has established a hallmark example
of what it means to be an exceptional human being, and Christian. We
will miss you, our dear Reverend, and while you may have passed, you
and your good works shall forever be immortalized for the many you
38

have helped. Good bye, Reverend Rochunga. Good bye, and thank you.

On this day, the 10th of October, 2015 the Hmar tribe lost
a hero, Rev.Dr.Rochunga Pudaite (88) who passed away in Memorial
Hospital, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA. As a tribute to this man
whose legacy will remain as long as the Hmar tribe exists, I would like to
write on why I consider him as the man who led Hmar to modernity. I
do not intend to write much on his life story because much has already
been written on him, even Americas Whos Who knows it.

Once a small backward indigenous tribe of the Chin-Kuki-Mizo(Chikim) group of tribes scattered in the present day Manipur, Mizoram, Assam and other parts of the North East Indian states, the people
of the Hmar tribe were introduced to modern education through Christianity brought about by the British missionaries about a 100 years ago.
Today, for one who has been educated and know the value of education
and has seen the benefits of education in ones own past for generations, it might be easy to understand why one has to embrace modern
education. However, almost a century back, for someone whose father
was the first generation to receive modern education at elementary level
and who did not have anyone else to follow or look up to as far as education is concerned; for someone who was comfortable with a lifestyle
that had been lived for generations by his forefathers-the lifestyle of a
village man who was self-sufficient, who had enough rice in his barn,
who had the luxury of drinking wine and going out for hunting in his
own soil occasionally; for someone who had to walk for miles through
the forest, in the company of wild animals, every day to the nearest primary school, education was not an easy affair. One had to think hard to
62

answer the question, Is it worth going through all these for education?
One needed not just the courage to go through all these, but a vision
and foresight to answer yes to this question then. Rochunga Pudaite
took that place and became one of the very few pioneers who led the way
to modernity among the people of the Hmar tribe in particular and the
Chikim tribes as a whole. Indeed, the British missionaries paved the
way to modern education in the region but there had to be someone to
lead the way, become a pathfinder and leave footprints that will be
followed in the subsequent years and generations to come. Rochunga
Pudaite was one.

In the post-Colonial and the post-World War II period, one of
the most important elements that define the legal status of any person is
national identity. With the emergence of different nation-states around
the world which began in Europe in the mid-19th century and with the
emergence of national boundaries in the 20th century which followed
till the post-colonial period, modern India as we know it today emerged.
The Hmar tribe, as a community did not have a well-defined legal identity under the Constitution of India at that time. However, as a tribe
that has its own language, well-defined customs and which constituted
an integral part of the population of south-west Manipur, Rochunga
Pudaite among other few leaders of the tribe knew the importance of
gaining a legal identity under the constitution and with his effort, the
Hmar tribe became a legally recognized Scheduled Tribe under the Constitution of India. Hence, an identity in modern India. Thenceforth,
Hmar does not only denote a community of the North-East, Hmar
now denotes an identity in the modern sense of the term- a part of the
larger national identity in modern India and the modern world.

Therefore, Rev.Dr.Rochunga Pudaite can rightly be called The
man who led Hmar to Modernity. A man who was barely 5 feet tall,
he reached heights of achievements very few could reach with his faith,
63

courage, bravery and vision. May his soul rest in peace and his legacy live
evermore!

When you can hardly stand and everything seems to be crashing
down. When you wonder where you are. When you cant find the words
to pray and you dont know what to say, its okay because Hes the One
who can hear your heart (Romans 8:26). Its okay if you dont have the
answers now. Its okay if you dont have it all together. Its okay if you
need to be alone for awhile. God will take care of you (Psalm 55:22). He
is in the business of giving beauty for ashes (Isaiah 61:1). He is close
to you and He will save you (Psalm 34:18). Wait for Him and He will
renew your strength. This devotion is dedicated to Pu Rev. (Dr.) Rochunga Pudaite, founder President of Bibles For the World, who left us
to be with the Lord on 10 Oct 2015. He is in the Faith Hall of Fame,
inspiring us to follow Jesus, have a personal relationship with Him and
work out our Faith. We will miss you. Look forward to meeting you at
the feet of Jesus!

Ten months ago we arrived in Manipur, India where my squad
and I were hosted by the Pudaite family and their ministry Bibles for the
World. For one special day a couple of my teammates and I got to spend
time with the founder Ro. We went up to the hills where he shared his
stories of how he helped entire villages come to know Jesus. Yesterday
Ro went to be with Jesus, but he will not be soon forgotten as he made
such a lasting impact on the Kingdom and our hearts. Ro showed me
just how much of a difference one person can make as you follow Gods
call. I am truly so blessed by the entire Pudaite family. My prayers and
condolences are with you!

I found out yesterday that Rev. Dr. Rochunga Pudaite (88 yrs)
Founder and President of Bibles for the World and Moderator, Evangelical Free Church of India passed away yesterday. During my first month
of the race my whole squad got to go to Manipur, India and see first
hand the effects of this mans obedience, faith, dedication, perseverance, and commitment to the kingdom. Unlike many who have heard
about Dr. Ro, I got a chance to meet him, listen to his heart, shake his
hand, hug him, tell him thank you for your obedience, and even get
a blurry picture with him. My heart is sad that this earth has lost such
an amazing saint but my heart is full knowing that Dr. Ro is in heaven
today and was greeted by countless angels, people he influenced and
accepted Christ as a result, and most importantly our Lord and savior.
His legacy will touch millions and will continue past today. He was a
powerhouse, a fire starter, and a warrior for the kingdom. Please be in
prayer for his family John L. Pudaite and Lawm Pudaite. They traveled
from India yesterday to be in Colorado where Dr. Ro passed. Thank you
Dr. Rochunga Pudaite for your obedience and work for the kingdom!
You impacted my life and countless others! We will miss you and you will

Rev. Dr. Rochunga Pudaite is no more! Three and a half decades
years ago I was sent to St. Xavier School, Thanlon to pursue my studies,
class-1 to be exact, leaving behind my beloved native village Parbung. It
was at this time that I first heard the name of Dr. Rochunga. That, a
famous and great man was comming from the United States to visit the
area and that he was passing through Thanlon. I had great admiration
and was in awe learning about his feats and achievements despite his
humble background. And, that he was from my tribe makes me excited
and made me more eager to meet him. Much much later, I came to
know that we shared the same matrilineal lienage.

I sometime feels that the great achievements and success of Dr.
Rochunga could be attributed to Gods faithfullness to His promise toward His servants and their offsprings. His father Pastor Chawnga was a
visionary and a driving force in his noble task and specially in the deter72

mination to fight against all odds and adversities. One cannot imagine
the hard life they would have been subjected to, even to get basic education in the 1940s and 1950s. Even in the 21st century, Tipaimukh
Sub-Division is still reeling, without basic electricity and pathetic road
condition and without any state transportation system in place because
of its remoteness. My father used to narrate how they trekked and travelled almost a week through deep jungles and thick forest, admist the
perils and dangers of wild beasts, to reach the district headquarter of
today i.e. Churachandpur. As we know, Churachandpur was the nearest
place to learn matriculate education.

I would like to narrate the little and lesser known fact about his
relativity. The pioneering pastors and composers, the trios, I used to call
them: Pastor Thangngur, Pastor Thangler and Pastor Lienrum (all cousin brothers) had contributed alot toward spreading the word of God in
the nascent Christians of the area. Infact, their songs are still a balm to
our soul, and quench the spiritual thirst of todays generation. They are
Dr. Rochungas mother relatives (blood brother and cousins). I narrate
this, lest we forget, the relation of the three great men of yesteryears and
the fallen hero of today. And, incidentally or fortunately I too am the
great-grandson of Pastor Thangler.

We are thankful and we would be eternally grateful and be indebted to Dr. Rochunga Pudaite for his various deeds which would be too
voluminous, and I may not describe them all, but still would like to cite
a few:

(i) Being a pioneer to register the Hmars as a Scheduled Tribe in
particular and our kindren tribes in general, thus paving the way for the
development of the tribes towards modernity who otherwise were living
a life of ignorance and poverty.

(ii) Founder of Partnership Mission Society, and thereby, his belovalent and magnanimous act makes it possible in creating many hon73

ourable men and women who otherwise would be ignorant and illiterate
due to poverty.

(iii) For being founder President of Bibles for the World and
thereby, fullfilling the great commission of our Lord, Go unto the
world proclaiming the good news to all creation and to all nations.

Adieu, Dr. Rochunga Pudaite, though your mortal remains
might no longer be with us, your legacy shall continue to inspire us and
lingers with us.

As I am coming to terms with the fact that the great man has
left us, memories of him floods me. I can only imagine the rejoicing that
is taking place as he finally meets the Jesus whom he so very love and
faithfully serve for more than 50 years.

I was 12 years old when the great man started training me to
realize and fulfill what was/is truly required of me. I was blessed to listen to him many2 times at different churches and events here in India
and America. He took me to several tv and radio stations where he was
interviewed (one of this picture was taken right after he was interviewed
by Duffy at the the talk of Los Angeles). He wanted you to learn. His
central message was always about Love- the love of God, and how we
are to love just as He loved us. He encouraged me to be formally trained
in a seminary (let me add that he paid for all my fees during my years
at SAIACS). His faith in Him was indomitable. His love for people extraordinary. The sheer challenges he faced and enormity of his achieve74

ments for his master pinched down your ego to the ground and laid bare
your inadequacies. With him, you always end up thanking the faithful
creator. Goodbye my mentor, grandpa and friend. You will always be
remembered.

Thinking of my dear friend, Rochunga Pudaite. His father dedicated Ro (when he was just a child) to translate the entire Bible for
their tribe, the Hmar, in India. Not a small task as they had no written
language at that time. It took many years but the father, Chawnga, was
not idle. He pastored many villages, leading many to Christ. He did it
by memorizing the book of John, all he had access to at the time. He
preached from the book of John for those years while he waited for the
entire Bible.

John 1: 1-5 Before anything else existed, there was Christ,
with God. He has always been alive and is himself God. He created
everything there isnothing exists that he didnt make. Eternal life is
in him, and this life gives light to all mankind. His life is the light that
shines through the darknessand the darkness can never extinguish it.

Today, Rev. Dr. Rochunga Pudaite, Founder of Bibles of the
World, Partnership Mission Society and translator of the first Bible in
Hmar language was laid to rest.To describe the legacy he has left behind
is truly impossible and I cannot begin to express how honored I am to
have spent the month living and serving in his ministry. Weve taught at
his schools, helped set up medical clinics, been patients in his hospitals,
slept in his seminary and attended his churches.Thousands of people
have spent the last week mourning his death and hundreds of them
drove hours in cars and boats to see the procession of his body flown in
from America, to sit for seven hours as his family and friends shared
his story during the ceremony and to watch as he was lowered into the
ground in this beautiful forest.Dr.Rochunga lived a life of complete surrender and both his life and death have inspired me to truly surrender
myself to the Lord and all He calls me into.What a beautiful last day in
India - celebrating a man who has shown us all what it looks like to make
81

God known.I know Hes rejoicing with His Father above the incredible
sky full of stars tonight.Dr. Rochunga, you will be missed, but you will
live through the Hmar people forever.

THEY SAY MEN DONT CRY
(In memory of Rev Dr Pu Rochunga Pudaite)

- Dr. L Robert Varte, New Delhi
They say men don't cry;
I guess thats the way
Here in the land of the hmars;
It is an evening, sad and grey
With the sunset, we lost you,
Never to guide us into the blue
And as we mourn now,
Men do cry, tearless cries;
Deep in our hearts we know
Men do cry nonetheless.

FADES THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR
- Rev. V. Lalthalien Zote
R-ushed to the feathery breeze of dead-squeezing the old age

natural,
O-h! That dazzling dreams blending with faith;
C-heerful smile, penetrating deep into the hearts of all,
H-astening endeavor for the lost souls till heavens consented;
U-nbridled passion for his Masters heart,
N-ow lay cold his mortal body, but into the warmest bosom of his
Creator;
G-one Home with colossal spoils for his Fathers glory,
A-h! Faded the Bright Morning Star but into the shadow of his
illuminator.
P-eoples treasure, heavens patronage-comes home relinquished,
U-nconquerable soul adorning with peoples attire;
D-efrosted warm in the hearts of the peoples,
A-bridged the east and the west with his untainted love;
I-gniting the old and the young into the Kingdom of Heavens,
T-he Bright Morning Star has fadedE-ternity, into the presence of his Master shines.

demised of Pu Rev. & Dr. Rochunga Pudaite, Founder, Bibles for the World.
Its not only a great loss for the family in particular but also Christians around

family & also we observed 2 minutes silence as a mark of respect to the departed soul. May his soul rest in peace at his heavenly abode.

I weep for Adonaishe is dead!

Oh, weep for Adonais! though our tears
Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head!
And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years
To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers,
And teach them thine own sorrow, say: "With me
Died Adonais; till the Future dares
Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be
An echo and a light unto eternity!"
