Solomon Daniel Family

Solomon Daniel is a snake wrangler who (in the past) appeared on many televised nature programs. His father was a pastor while he and his brothers ran a nature tour and trek organization. This helped to prepare him for RI's Xtreme Missions co-ordinator position! Solomon has been an evangelist with RI since 2006.

He volunteers as a snake wrangler (capturing unwelcome guests that creep into the village homes - photo of a "home" below). He also supervises a night school for 35 children (a mixed group of those who must work in the fields all day and those who aren't properly taught in local schools). The school only has 2 teachers (teachers are poorly paid, thus many students are not well taught, especially in the villages). Solomon pastors a church, has been a part of planting 2 other churches in the villages (see pictures below) and also assists these churches in supporting orphans by providing school supplies and sports equipment for the youth.

He currently resides in Masanagudi (a small town in the state of Karnataka; where Bangalore is the capital) with his wife Vidhya, their two children Jennifer Angel, who is currently 6 and Jeruson John (3 yrs) and NO snakes!
