RAM Narayan Deoki (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ram Narayan (Ramsay) Deoki was the first Fiji Indian Methodist Church minister. He was an articulate preacher and exerted great influence on the Methodist Church in Fiji. His father, Shiu Narayan Deoki, was initially a farmer in Navua but the decline in the sugar industry in the district forced him to move to Suva, where he set up a grocery business. In 1918, S. N. Deoki, together with 20 other members of his family converted to Christianity. At the age of twenty-one he was sent to Melbourne High School to study with students much younger than him. He also studied biblical studies at the Methodist Home Mission College in Kew, Melbourne.
