Dengziki was a 42 year old Indian citizen from Mizoram. She had served in YWAM for 18-19 years. She did her DTS in Calcutta and served on staff there. She was one of the first South Asians to lead SOFMs and pioneered the way for many Northeastern Indians to be released into missions, particularly in China. She was a leader of leaders and though a behind the scenes leader, a powerful mentor of many. Her loss continues to be deeply felt by her many co-workers and friends.

Nelly completed her YWAM training school in Holland and came to Thailand to serve the refugees in 1987. Her knowledge of bookkeeping was so needed and she executed her job with great commitment, quality and joy. She loved the challenge of solving problems and the quality of her work and her commitment never wavered in all the years she worked alongside us.
