Description
Annotation translation: "He is a silversmith by profession, and a merchant. He came to know the gospel already 40 years ago. At that time he had to walk 7 hours to attend services. Nowadays Tsok is a christian well-grounded in the word of God and there is no question but that morning and evening prayers are held in his house."
Annotation: "Ist von Beruf Silberschmid und Kaufmann. Schon vor etwa vierzig Jahren wurde er mit dem Evangelium bekannt. Um den Gottesdiest zu besuchen, hatte er jedesmal einen siebenstündigen Weg zurückzulegen. Heute ist Tsok ein im Worte Gottes tief gegründeter Christ, und tägliche Morgen- und Abendandachten sind in seinem Hause etwas Selbstverständliches."
