Johannes Leimena and his wife were members of the GKP Synod. He was also the Chief of Immanuel Hospital, and helped built the Maranatha Christian University. Both institutions where Johannes Leimena was involved now are under the GKP Synod. Because of that, the TOT participants were encouraged to continue the spirit their elders had, and serve God through their service to others.
