Faith, Hard Work, and God's Grace”
Makassar, [01st March 2025]
– In a solemn and heartfelt atmosphere, Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono, DBA.,
Ph.D., and his family held a thanksgiving service that deeply touched everyone
in attendance. The event, attended by family, friends, and religious figures,
was a sacred moment to glorify God for His guidance and blessings throughout
their journey.
From the very beginning, a sense of
joy and gratitude filled the room. In his speech, Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono
expressed his profound appreciation for God's love and grace, which have guided
him from childhood to where he stands today. With deep humility, he shared his
life story—a journey filled with struggles, challenges, and unwavering faith.
From Humble Beginnings to
Extraordinary Blessings
Prof. Capt. Eddy Sumartono was born
into a modest family, as was his wife, Oktavia. Their childhood was filled with
limitations, but that did not stop them from dreaming and striving for a better
future. Through hard work and steadfast faith, God paved the way for them to
achieve their dreams. Today, Prof. Capt. Eddy has been honored with the title
of Professor from Asean University International Malaysia, while his wife,
Oktavia, has successfully completed her studies and earned a Bachelor's degree
in Management.
Quoting from John 15:7, he
shared a verse that has been their guiding strength: "If you remain
in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done
for you." This scripture has been their anchor through numerous
trials and obstacles. Tears, failures, and hardships have been part of their
journey, yet their unwavering trust in God has been their greatest source of
strength.
A Living Testimony: Proof of God’s
Plan
This thanksgiving service was a
testament to the undeniable truth that nothing is impossible with God. In his
speech, Prof. Capt. Eddy emphasized that every life journey, no matter how
difficult, is always under God's divine plan. He referenced Job 42:2, "I
know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted."
For many, limitations can often be
seen as barriers to success. However, Prof. Capt. Eddy and his family have
proven that with unwavering faith and perseverance, circumstances can be
transformed. “We are just ordinary children from ordinary families, but God
has extraordinary plans for each of His children,” he shared emotionally.
More than just celebrating academic
and professional achievements, this thanksgiving service served as a reflection
of their spiritual journey. Every step, every prayer, and every effort they
undertook was not just for personal success but also as a testimony to others.
They hope that their story will inspire those currently struggling, reminding
them that God is always at work behind the scenes, orchestrating everything
perfectly.

Living in Blessings by Blessing Others
Life is not just about achieving
success; it is also about how we can be a blessing to others. Hebrews 13:16
states, "And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for
with such sacrifices God is pleased." Holding onto this principle,
Prof. Capt. Eddy and his family are committed to continuously sharing love and
helping those in need, particularly those who require motivation and
encouragement to chase their dreams.
The success they have achieved is not
meant to be enjoyed alone but to inspire many others never to give up in the
face of challenges. In life, what matters most is not how high we climb but how
many people we help rise alongside us.
A Touching and Joyous Moment with
Family and Friends
This thanksgiving service was even
more meaningful with the presence of family, close friends, and spiritual
leaders who have been an integral part of their journey. Prayers and words of
gratitude filled the room, creating an atmosphere of peace and reflection.
During the reflection session, several
friends and family members shared their testimonies on how Prof. Capt. Eddy and
his wife have been an inspiration to many. They are known as individuals who
not only work hard for their family but also care for and encourage those
around them.
“Their life journey is undeniable
proof that faith and hard work can take someone beyond imaginable limits,”
said a close friend who attended the event.

others.
