Rev Neville Koch passed away on the 15 th of February 2023. He was former Chairman of NCEASL & LEADS a much loved & respected Christian leader. He was President of the then Dutch Reformed Church. Also was the first Principal of Colombo Theological Seminary. A pastor to many pastors he was. A trained Counselor sought by many. 

From his wife….

Sad News!  Neville passed away.  away peacefully at 5.40pm  on Wednesday, 15th February. (early hours of LK morning today). Graeme and I were by his side.  Graeme kept telling him that he ran the race well.  The song that was playing on Alexa was – ‘Softly and Tenderly Jesus is calling’ when he was taking his last few breaths.  We are sad and heartbroken.

Please share with the EASL family.  Thanks.

SRI LANKA NEWS – DECEMBER 2025

To my readers and viewers, near and far May 2026 shine like a guiding star. With health and joy in every day, Let stress dissolve, let happiness stay. Choose meals that nourish, light yet grand, Plant-based treasures, gifts from the land. With fish for strength, and less meat, Balance makes life’s journey sweet. Keep your weight within its range, Small habits bring a lasting change. A daily walk, one hour long, Turns the body steady, the spirit strong. Be kind to family, friends you hold dear, Their love is the wealth that grows year by year. Read my words, watch my videos too, Each crafted with care, kindly shared for you. For age reminds us, health is wealth, And youth proclaims that wealth is health. So let us cherish both, hand in hand, Together we journey across life’s land. Sending my warmest blessings—Dr. Harold Gunatillake Kandy, Sri Lanka.
