Dr Benny Prasad Prasad (world renowned musician) through his music and testimony brings the Hope in God to thousands of people around the world.
A press note stated that on Saturday evening, he enthralled the young youths of Chakhesang Baptist Church at Diphupar.
The program is said to be organised by The Harvest Ministries International and Cornerstone Community Church, Dimapur in collaboration with Chakhesang Baptist Church, Diphupar.
During the evening, Benny along his wife Zanbeni Prasad Odyuo performed various songs with instrumentals and after each piece, he shared his life experience while connecting the youths in entertaining and enriching them with the word of God.
Further, the release mentions, Dr. Benny Prasad while addressing the hundreds of youngsters of Chakhesang Baptist Chruch, Diphupar said “God said that even though everyone said I am useless, He still need me,” said Benny. At first he did not understand how God would need a useless person, but he accepted Christ because Christ wanted Benny and these changed his life forever.
He said at the age of 15, on the first day, his music teacher told him not to come back as he has no musical talent at all. Benny also said he was thrown out of the school during his 10th standard, but today they call him back to inspire the students.
Benny observed that ‘Nagas focus too much on education level, but bear fewer fruits’. Stating that Naga people study for the sake of getting a degree, Benny said “we have enough of examples who have a degree but are still jobless” and further seek the attention of the youngsters to have a purpose in life.
He also lamented that with education, “we are unable to lower our pride to do smaller things” and added “What’s the difference between a degree who is jobless and a person without degree” Benny said.
Encouraging the youngsters, he said, “You have the knowledge, the degree; all you need is passion and purpose”.
On pursuing the passion, he said “You need to prove your passion to your parents that you are capable of” so that those dreams can be fulfilled.
“If I could be made useful, anyone in this world can. If my dreams can come true, yours can too” Benny said.
He is also planning to build up spoken English language training center in Nagaland, a training which can benefit the youths to get better jobs outside Nagaland. Benny, in the end, mesmerized the crowd playing his panflute with the song “You raise me up”.
While Rev. Dr. Suluveyi Rhakho, director of Harvest Ministries International pronounced the benediction.
Dr. Benny Prasad along with his wife are currently on northeast India tour in six states i.e Shillong, Imphal, Dimapur, Siliguri, Guwahati and Aizawl.
