Vignettes of Remarkable People in the Faith: Enoch Olinga:


 When Our beloved Hand Of The Cause of God Mr. Enouch Olinga and his wife visited Trinidad and Tobago in 1977, my wife and I had the bounty of his visit in our home.
    One of our Daughters Sharon who was six years old, wrote a poem about Love, expressing it to Him. He said to us that she will become [a] prominent personality in her life time. 
   Sharon Coward ( a Baha'i), is now 38 years old and she has been a Television News Presenter for the pass 17 years in Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados and with her Website in News.( caribbeannewsreleases.com)
Mr Enouch Olinga gave an inspiring talk and at the end of it, a non baha'i accepted the Faith.     When we were about to leave our home that evening,Sharon complained of a severe stomach ache and we were very concerned about leaving her at home and going to the meeting or stay at home and take care of our sick child. We consulted as husband and wife usually do and decided to leave her in Baha'u'llah's Hand's and go to the meeting.
    As soon as entered the room Mr. Enouch Olinga stood up and hugged both of us and asked what had happened.
    We told Him that Sharon was ill with a stomach ache. He then rubbed his stomach saying Allah'u'abha! a few times and told us do not worry she will be ok.
    When the meeting ended we went home, Sharon was fine, the pain had subsided. We asked our older children when Sharon's pain subsided. They said:  the pain disappered about 45 minutes after we left home which was around the same time that Mr. Oiinga rubbed His stomach while saying Allah'u'abha!
