Pughoboto, October 23 (MExN): The 12th Triennial Convention of Nagaland Baptist Church Council Women Department (NBCCWD), which was hosted by the Women Department of SABAK, Pughoboto, concluded on October 23, 2016.
The last day of the convention commenced with morning devotion and small group sharing led by Rev. Ellen Konyak Jamir. During the morning worship service, Y. Vikheho Swu, Minister, Roads and Bridges (PWD) brought the greetings, where he pointed out the positive results of Clean Election Campaign in Nagaland. He also emphasized the importance of family re-orientation in Naga society.
Rev. Dr. Mar Pongener, Principal, Clark Theological College, who delivered the message, said, “Jesus speaks but not everyone is hearing or listening to Him. Therefore, not everybody is opening the door of their lives for him to come in and fellowship with God.” One of the greatest benefits of our salvation, he added, has to be that of hearing God speak to us personally. “It is never the Lord who is not speaking, but it is us who are not hearing. In stillness we must tune our spiritual ears to hear the voice of God,” he stated. Special music was presented by Pughoboto Town Baptist Church and Council of Rengma Baptist Churches (CRBC). The closing service of the convention was marked with a time of encouragement and installation of new office bearers of NBCCWD, which was officiated by Rev. Dr. Zelhou Keyho, General Secretary, NBCC.
Special music was brought by YBBA and KBBB. NBCCWD and Hosheli Q. Wotsa delivered the thank you note and the word of God was brought by Juliet Shikhu, Pastor, Sumi Baptist Church Dimapur. The new office bearers of the NBCC Women Department are Pusuinla Longkumer (President), Chongtei Heno (Vice President), Visasieü Dolie (Secretary), Rev.
